★★★★★marla swartzMy oldest son enjoyed 5 wonderful summers at CBR. My youngest just came home from his 3rd summer at CBR, and like many others, we are a second generation CBR family: I spent many summers at CBR as a child, too. No where else can I send my kids and feel fully confident that they are having the best time and not worry for a moment for their safety and well-being. The Waldman family runs a very well-oiled machine on that beautiful piece of property in the Blue Ridge mountains. My kids make lasting friendships, build confidence, genuinely feel good about themselves, and come home better versions of themselves!
★★★★★Brittany MohlerCamp Blue Ridge has become my kids second home every summer. They attend for five weeks and love it! Each year they come back with incredible growth and memories that will last them forever. I love the huge variety of activities CBR offers too and the Teen Program is great! I love the memories I have as an alumni of CBR and now my kids get to experience it.
★★★★★Maria DeFreitasIt our second year at Camp Blue Ridge, and my 10 yr old loves every minute there. Camp is not done yet, and he's talking about next year. Counselors are nurturing, activities are well planned, exciting and keep campers enthusiastic, active and immensely engaged. Thanks again Camp Blue Ridge, we definitely will be back next year!
★★★★★Paula ZeemanMy daughters had the best summer of their lives. They never expressed an interest in going to sleep away camp until this summer. I’m so glad that Camp Blue Ridge came into our lives! They treat everyone like they are a part of the family. They were so accommodating to both of my daughter’s individual needs! My daughters made life long friends at camp. When my girls hot home I asked my younger daughter if she was happy to be home or would she rather be at camp? Without hesitation she said camp!
★★★★★Andrea PinderMy 8 and 11 year old boys attended Camp Blue Ridge this year,. First time at a sleep away camp, and they cannot wait to go back. The boys had a blast! As a parent, I could not have been more comfortable with their process from registration, check-in and constant communications and pictures from the staff. There are so many best parts of Camp BR: Kids making memories, creating life long friends, stepping out of their comfort with new activities and foods and learning responsibilities/independence. Worse part about camp; having to leave. We are already registered for 2022, Thank you Camp BR for giving my children a great summer and experience.
