THE SALVATION ARMY CAMP RAPPAHANNOCK

"WHERE THE TIDES EBB AND FLOW"

Located in the scenic heart of Virginia, Camp Rappahannock is a vibrant summer destination where adventure, community, and faith come alive. For generations, campers have discovered unforgettable experiences here—experiences that ignite confidence, inspire growth, and draw young people closer to God. At Camp Rappahannock, kids step away from screens and step into creation, exploring the outdoors in ways that spark wonder and deepen their sense of purpose.

Whether they’re hiking wooded trails, paddling the river, scaling the climbing wall, or sharpening their aim at the archery range, campers are surrounded by opportunities to try new things and thrive. Our dedicated staff create a safe, joyful, and Christ-centered environment where every camper is known, valued, and encouraged. Camp Rappahannock is more than a place to spend the summer—it’s a place where friendships form, faith grows, and memories last a lifetime.
