We did not know what to expect when we crossed the Greenbrier River on the barge and arrived at Camp Alleghany. What we found was a community of warm, friendly people, breathtaking scenery, outdoor adventures, and time to really be with family. There is no sweeter sound than Taps at the end of a full day. Even though we have no connection to Camp Alleghany, my husband, grandchildren and I all feel like ‘Ghany Campers. Thank you!”
Register for For Family Camp 2021
Summer 2021
NOTE: We fully intend to run family programming this summer. Due to continued restrictions and concerns around COVID, we’ll blend our traditional Family Camp with components of the successful Family Retreats program that we held during summer 2020. Please read further for what it will look like this summer.
What Family Camp Is Like
You’ll come for the fun, fellowship, and relaxation and leave refreshed, renewed, and invigorated for the seasons ahead!
Would you like to take an affordable family vacation to the beautiful mountains of West Virginia? Situated in beautiful Greenbrier County, it’s a place where families enjoy outdoor living at its finest. Take a break from our fast-paced society and come to the peaceful banks of the Greenbrier River. Enjoy quality time with your family participating in our many activities or just kicking back and enjoying each others’ company.
Three delicious meals a day are cooked and served in our Dining Hall by our new expert kitchen staff, Wolfoods.
All activities are offered daily (weather providing); make your own schedule! You decide how much or how little you want to participate in. Choose any or all activities including: swimming, canoeing, rifle, archery, arts & crafts, hiking, campfires, roasting s’mores, spending quality family time, and more.
At the time of registration you’ll be responsible for the $100.00 non-refundable deposit. The remainder of your balance is due July 15; you will receive an email in early July with your invoice. If you would like to pay earlier or have payment questions, please email us.
