Camp Friendship

“Enter here to be and find a friend.” 

Camp Friendship was founded in 1966 and is still managed by the Ackenbom family.  Where campers come back to year after year to visit with old friends and make new ones, supporting our motto “Enter here to be and find a friend”.  Camp Friendship is more than just fun and games, we also cater to the development needs of our campers.  Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains on 520 acres Camp Friendship offers a variety of programs for boys and girls ages 7-16.  Traditional camp programs for Juniors and Teens offer more than 40 activities for campers to choose from to create a fun and fulfilling summer.  Our campers can mix and match one-week sessions with VIVA! Trips for teens or add a half-day Sports Clinic including Tennis, Golf, Gymnastics, Soccer, and Waterskiing instructed by qualified instructors.  For the girls who just love horses, the Equestrian Program with more than 80 camp-owned horses is the camp program for them!  The Camp Friendship staff and its campers have represented over 80 different countries over our 45 years for a diverse cultural interaction.  Camp Friendship is accredited by the American Camp Association, to learn more about us or the ACA please visit us at www.campfriendship.com
