Challenging, Safe and Rewarding Fun for Campers of All Ability Levels

Hargrave students enjoy a wide range of afternoon activities for personal growth, development and fun. (Choices include Hargrave’s popular Adventure camp or one of eight athletic sports camps. All students are required to participate in at least Adventure OR one sports camp.)

Considered one of the finest skills based technical adventure programs on the east coast, Hargrave’s Adventure program has a reputation of safety, quality and intensity. Activities include canoeing Virginia’s scenic waterways, white water rafting on West Virginia’s rapids, climbing and rappelling on Hargrave's new pratice tower, and marksmanship, including small bore rifle and shotgun. The locations in these states are all top rated adventure destinations. The Adventure program does require an additional fee.

For this level of activity, safety is key. Hargrave employs only the best instructors with experienced adventure skills. Hargrave teaches a full range of fundamental skills, including: canoeing technique, climbing technique, rappelling, belaying and marksmanship. These important skills are taught on campus before applying that knowledge off campus.
