HELPING PARENTS FIND THE RIGHT CAMP FOR THEIR CHILD

Here is a listing of summer camp opportunities in Southwest Virginia. It was compiled from information sent to us by camp operators; a listing here does not represent an endorsement of any camp by the Roanoke Times & World-News.

Fees given are for non-members of sponsoring organizations; member discounts may be offered. Many camps offer discounts for families enrolling more than one child in a session.

Many camps do not have formal registration deadlines; they accept applications until they are full. To ensure your child's place, it's wise to sign up early.

\ FOR COMPLETE LIST, PLEASE SEE MICROFLIM.
