Camp Varsity

Tucked away in the tranquil Allegheny Mountains, flanked by the steady flow of the Maury River, sits Camp Virginia, a time-honored haven for young adventurers. A product of the diligent efforts of Coach and Mrs. Malcolm Pitt, this camp, since its inception in 1928, has proven to be more than just a venue for fun and games. Offering an extensive lineup of activities, from traditional sports like baseball, basketball, and soccer, to the thrill of backpacking and hiking, Camp Virginia places an equal emphasis on physical prowess and character building. The satisfaction of casting a perfect line during a fishing session is enlivened with the thoughtfulness of daily devotions and prayers. The ethos of Camp Virginia interweaves integrity, selflessness, and gratitude, not just into the camp activities, but into all facets of camp life, even the cabins. The guiding principles imparted in each task are augmented with the aim of molding well-rounded campers. Harvesting the energy of three generations of the Pitt family, the camp is steeped in a love so profound, it has shaped the legacy of Camp Virginia. For over 80 remarkable years, the signature familial warmth has fostered a diverse and nurturing community, reinforcing the roots of gratitude and integrity. In the embrace of Mother Nature, with the alleluia of Allegheny whispers and the melody of the Maury River, Camp Virginia continues the uplifted spirit of its founders. It remains a cherished summer sanctuary, reinforcing values while igniting the flame of adventure in the hearts of its young explorers.
