Opened in 2019, Camp Parsons is located on 62 acres of land in Cumberland County with a simple desire to offer a transformative wilderness experience to youth groups from all over Virginia, regardless of their ability to pay. In the short time since opening, we have accomplished a great many projects for the benefit of our youth visitors. With the 2024 acquisition of an additional 40 acres for hiking, biking and rustic camping, we look forward to our future opportunities to enhance our guest experience.

In 2024, we hosted over 1,000 campers from youth groups and organizations all over the state of Virginia.

Camp Parsons is supported solely by the generosity of donors such as yourself and receives no federal or state funding. It is the mission of the camp to provide access to the camp free of charge, regardless of youth group affiliation. It is very important for youth to have access to outdoor activities. There is no question that children of all ages, even adults, benefit from time spent outdoors. Camp Parsons’ mission is to provide access to the outdoors for all youth groups, without barriers.
