Field Camp’s sleepaway version–Camp Poplar–will run again this year for two weeks (June 21 – 26 and July 5 – 11). Camp Poplar is an intensive version of Field Camp, for campers who want to immerse themselves more in a full-time camp environment for one a full week. If you think your child would enjoy Field Camp, you should consider having them join us for Poplar starting at age 8. Camp Poplar is accredited by the American Camping Association.
Activities
Activities reflect traditional summer camp overnight pasttimes, including woodworking, costume design, clay sculpting, swim times in the Moormans River or at Blue Ridge Swim Club, as well as evening activities such as Masquerade, Spectacle, and Discotheque.
