Phoebe has been a big part of my life since I was little. I started by going to camp there for years, followed by working for the camp and finally full circle, my kids have been enjoying the camp for years.
I would recommend this camp to anyone!
My daughter has gone the past couple of years for the summer camps. Each year she participates in new adventures that will be in her memories for a long time. This camp goes above and beyond to make sure any kid who wants this experience gets it. I'm thankful my daughter has a fun safe place for her summer adventures.
My daughter had had the opportunity to attend day camp here 2 years in a row. She absolutely loves the activities and the staff. She is already asking about next year. We appreciate everyone at Phoebe Needles so much for being such wonderful people. She can now swim with confidence after attending the swim camps and always has cute art work to bring home.
Beautiful setting. The Fall Festival this year was a wonderful community activity for adults and children. The music and children's activities were fantastic. I have attended a few of the speaker events at The Center for Lifelong Learning and they are always interesting, and well attended. Such a great place for children to enjoy summer camps.
Phoebe Needles is a beautiful camp and conference center. The facilities are well maintained and accomodate those with special needs. The staff is friendly and eager to please.
I have attended several events at Phoebe Needles.....private self defense classes, elder classes, camps for children, musical shows, church retreats and others. All have been well done and helpful/entertaining.
I am so impressed with what the Phoebe Needles Center has done to help the community and surrounding region. Not only does the Center provide scholarship for many campers who can't afford to come but also do outreach project in the community such as deck and ramp building for folks who cannot afford and need access to their homes.
Phoebe Needles Center is an amazing place nestled in the Blueridge Mountains. The facilities include a commercial kitchen, meeting hall, lodge and more. A great place for retreats, family reunions, special events etc.
Phoebe Needles Center, Inc. offers programs for people of all ages, but the organization is probably most widely known for its summer camp program for children. There are day camp programs for elementary age children and overnight programs for pre-teens and teens. Some of the day camps teach introductory swimming. Two of my children attended swim camp, and it was such a blessing to our family, as it made them less fearful and more confident in water! My older child attended a middle school age camp as well as a rock climbing camp. I have pictures of him hanging from a rock face overlooking a forest. It was truly an amazing, confidence- and character-building experience for him. This camp is affordable and the staff works hard to make campers feel safe and included. Although the camp is associated with the Episcopal Church, most children who attend are not associated with the Episcopal Church and many have no church affiliation. The setting of the camp is beautiful, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It has gorgeous views, a clean, pastoral setting and is a great way for kids to unplug from the technology and stresses of today! All of the camp programs focus on being good stewards of the environment and empowering kids to be their best selves! The camp is also accredited by the American Camp Association which means that it meats specific and rigorous standards for safety, staffing, and programming.
