‘Ghany We Will Give, 2025
This year, we are once again embracing a service-learning approach that offers a more hands-on experience for both campers and counselors. We’re thrilled to be partnering once again with the Greenbrier Humane Society, as well as local veterinarians, to create a meaningful project that supports the animals in our community. We know the girls will be especially excited to take part in a service initiative that directly benefits our furry friends!
A Parent Reflects on the Unique Resilience Developed at Camp
We’re in that fantastic—yet overwhelming—part of the year where school is winding down, and our kids are getting increasingly anxious for summer to start. There’s both a blossoming hysteria emerging with each warm day, and a growing ennui about dragging themselves out of bed each morning, contrasting but equally strong impulses.
Camp as a Long-Term Investment: Why Three Weeks Matters
At Camp Alleghany, we believe that the magic of camp doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time to build independence, form meaningful friendships, and grow in confidence, courage, and character. That’s why our camp program is built around a three-week session—a thoughtfully designed length of time that allows campers to settle in, dig deep, and walk away transformed.
Facilities Updates & News: A Summer of Progress
At Camp Alleghany, we’re always striving to improve our facilities in thoughtful and intentional ways—balancing budget realities with big dreams, and often letting necessity guide our next steps. This year, some unexpected repairs led us down a path we’ve been considering for a while, and we’re excited to share what’s happening and what’s to come!

Embracing Imperfection: How Challenges at Camp Help Girls Grow
Summer camp is often portrayed as a magical place where everything is fun, friendships are instant, and every moment feels like a highlight reel. While it’s true that camp is filled with joy, connection, and unforgettable memories, it’s important to remember that perfection isn’t the goal—growth is. At Camp Alleghany, our mission is to help girls grow personally, and that means embracing the bumps in the road as part of the journey. Life isn’t always smooth, and neither is camp—but that’s exactly what makes it such a transformative experience.
