At Living Earth Camps, we give each camper the attention they need to follow their passions, to connect with nature and each other.  We have some of the best staff on the planet.  The campers come first because they should.  We serve mostly organic kid-friendly food, that the kids rave about.  We buy from our local farms when ever we can.  At our mountain camp, we try to keep life simple, natural, full of learning and laughter.                

Living Earth Camps are in the shadows of Shenandoah National Park, nestled in the mountains amongst forest, field, and river.  A natural paradise with a lifetime worth of learning and exploration.  The Living Earth Summer Camps are conveniently located in Sugar Hollow, just 20 minutes outside of Charlottesville, VA.  The overnight camps begin at 2PM and end at noon the final day.
 
Wild edibles and pine needle collection“Thank you, thank you, thank you, and your excellent staff for creating a camp that truly nurtured and nourished my son.  He said, “That was the best camp I’ve ever been to,” and his stories continue to go on -- it is amazing all that he learned.  He came home more sure of himself, more connected, with a head full of wonderful knowledge and a heart full of good memories.”
