This 1945 piece offers insight into the equine passion that many had back when Alleghany still had a horseback riding program.
A Century of Empowering Girls
Camp Alleghany is an all-girls overnight summer camp in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. In everything we do, we believe girls need healthy self-esteem and their own, individual voice to confidently navigate life's challenges.
Praise for Camp Alleghany
I dedicated weeks to searching for the best summer camp for my daughter — and I have the spreadsheet to prove it. The requirements were many including being accredited, free from technology, gossip, and boys. Alleghany checked every box, but it was our visit to family camp that sealed the deal. Upon our arrival it became immediately clear that Alleghany is a family, and a beloved one at that.

ParentThis will be our 8th summer with Camp Alleghany. What started as a gentle yet adventurous “nudge” for our oldest daughter; to encourage more independence, unplug and get outside has turned into so much more for our entire family. We have been impressed by so many of the staff, CA alumnae and CA families...We knew right away our daughters were in good hands.
Dod Poe
ParentAt a time when girls can be trying out different behaviors and friend groups in middle and high school, returning to Alleghany each summer provides an annual opportunity to re-connect with core values of kindness, integrity and good citizenship. Her grounding in her ‘Ghany Girl identity helps reinforce these values in our daughter all year long.
