Hello Brainy Camp Families!

The camp schedule is listed below.

We are thrilled
to return to the beautiful facility at Massanetta Springs near Harrisonburg, Virginia (to view the camp, please visit http://www.massanettasprings.org). The camp site is a wonderful location that accommodates our growing camps and offers our campers a greater variety of activities. Located in the foothills of the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains, this campsite gives our kids a traditional camp experience, with cabins nestled amongst the trees, a natural spring-fed pool and a lake for fishing and canoeing. There are two dining halls, which we use for meals, cooking classes, and a nighttime canteen. Four separate activity centers offer important opportunities for camper development. Basketball and volleyball courts, and two general sports fields are utilized throughout the weeks of camp. In addition, an open-air pavilion serves as an ideal place for barbecues and daily activities.
