2023 Virginia Tech and NRV Summer Camps

Summer time can be a time for learning! Summer camp programs provide a fun and safe environment for children to develop friendships as well as socioemotional, planning, decision-making, problem-solving, and leadership skills. They also offer opportunities to live new experiences, broaden horizons, and develop self-confidence and independence.

A number of summer camp options here at Virginia Tech and across the New River Valley will give your children the chance to develop those lifelong skills and friendships.
