Our Present
Camp Highroad has grown considerably over the last ten years, and has established itself as one of the best adventure camping experiences in Northern Virginia. Whether our guests come to Highroad for a retreat, a scout campout, a jumping-off point for visiting Washington D.C., a school program, a summer camp program, a wedding or a 10,000 person concert, we at Camp Highroad will do all that we can to extend Christian hospitality to all who come. We pride ourselves on the service and hospitality offered to our guests. Our goal is that, through the experience that individuals have at Highroad, and the relationships that are built between staff and guests, the gospel will shine through.
Part of the way that we get to that point is by moving past simply offering programs and facilities to groups on camp. Each year, Highroad pursues a number of outreach and partnership opportunities in our community. For instance, every summer we partner with a local church to run a "City Camp" program where our staff and campers work together to run a Vacation Bible School off site. We partner with the YMCA each summer, and throughout the year, to run Loudoun YMCA day camps. We host a Christmas party for a number of churches in the Latino community. We have opened our doors to organizations like Adventure Camp and Starfish Savers, who serve children with special needs. Each year, All God's Children comes to Highroad towards then end of our summer program to run a program of their own, supporting children whose parents are incarcerated. Last fall, for the first time in Highroad history, we hosted a Christian music festival, Awakening Fest. Over two days, Awakening drew 10,000 people onto camp… and over two days we pulled almost all of their cars out of the mud, with smiles on our faces!
As a year-round staff of seven people, we are so excited, blessed, and honored to be part of growing this camp. We're thankful for God's provision in tough economic time, for the support of our seasonal staff who give selflessly each year, and for the many volunteers and donors who fix, clean and build when the job becomes to big or the budget too small! Thanks to all of you who continue to support our mission and ministry! If you would like to keep tabs on what's going on with us most recently, check out our Recent News page or our RSS feed below!
