CAMP POTOMAC WOODS

Camp Potomac Woods is a 101-acre camp located on the banks of the Potomac River in Loudoun County, Virginia. Its varied terrain includes upland woods, marshland, valleys, riverbanks and open fields. About 200 girls entering grades one through 12 attend Potomac Woods each of the eight one-week sessions. Girls entering grades 10-12 have an opportunity to participate in the Counselor in Training and Junior Counselor programs for a three to four-week camp experience.

CAMP PROGRAM

The camp program ranges from general outdoor to arts and crafts and nature to more specialized programs like dance, drama and horseback riding. Many campers also look forward to hiking to the large Pooh Tree by the river. Campers also have the opportunity to make crafts, swim in the pool, play field games and learn about nature.

FACILITIES

Living Units, each accommodating 15-24 campers, consist of a unit house or shelter, latrines, washstand, fire circle and glen shelters or platform tents. Campers and staff live in glen shelters or platform tents. A glen shelter is a wood structure with four sides, a wooden floor and wooden roof.

Each structure sleeps 4-6 campers; staff members stay in a separate shelter in the unit. Cots, mattresses and mosquito netting are provided.
