Valley Mill Camp has been serving families in the Washington, DC area since 1956, combining closeness of home with the atmosphere of an away camp. Sixty acres of deep woods, surrounding a spring-fed lake, provide a delightfully cool headquarters for a vigorous camp program. Growth and development of character and personality, improvement of athletic skills and a sense of group fun are our goals. Small camp groups, led by a large staff of qualified counselors, ensure that every camper receives individual attention.
