What a great camp! Accommodating, friendly staff, great programs for Scouts, and it's all in a relatively compact space. If you want to go where the humidity is low, the mosquitoes are sparce, and the good-times are aplenty, consider this camp.

Great Summer camp location for a Troop from NoVA and good alternative to the Goshen scout reservation. We went on Week 1 of the scout weeks and place was already running like a well oiled machine. Serving portion for meals were on little side first few days of the week but it was remedied by mid week.

I grew up going to Scout camps all over the state and no other camp gives me the feelings this camp does. You feel like you're at home when you go to Camp Shenandoah, and after years of camping here I'm honored to work here around such hard-working individuals who all operate the program beautifully and provide amazing opportunities for the youth of today. Keep going guys!
