VIRGINIA FISHING ADVENTURES FOR OLDER CAMPERS
This camp with Virginia Fishing Adventures offers budding fishermen
the opportunity to learn the basics of freshwater fishing. Virginia Fishing
Adventures staff will drive campers to private freshwater ponds and nearby
rivers where campers will fish for bass, bluegill, crappie, and catfish from
jon boats and rafts. Safety is the number one priority, so all campers will
wear lifejackets when in the water or on a boat, and the staff maintains a 1:5
counselor-to-camper ratio. Virginia Fishing Adventures provides all bait and
tackle, rods and reels, and lifejackets. Campers should wear shoes and clothes
that they don’t mind getting wet and dirty. No experience necessary. Please

VIRGINIA OUTSIDE MOUNTAIN BIKING
Richmond has some of the best urban mountain biking trails around. Join
our staff of experienced riders for a week on the trails this summer. Campers
will develop beginner and intermediate mountain biking skills including:
steering, shifting, hill climbing and descending, log hopping, dodging obstacles,
etiquette, maintenance, safety, and more. Campers ride in the morning, have
a midday activity like tubing or snorkeling on the James River, then get back
on the bikes in the afternoon. Campers are placed in groups from beginner to
advanced intermediate, so they are riding with campers of the same ability.
Virginia Outside provides bikes and helmets, but campers are welcome to bring
their own.
