A Nature Study Day Camp
Operating every year since 1986, Rapp Nature Camp has delivered a cherished experience to well over a thousand children. From our camp home near Shenandoah National Park just outside of Sperryville, we pursue our mission of allowing individuals, especially children, to discover for themselves the wonder and beauty of the natural world and to understand what it means to be a part of a community of living things.
Nature Lessons are Life Lessons.
At Rapp Nature Camp, campers of all ages learn about the natural world around us, but that’s just the beginning!
We engage in projects based on our own experiences and observations at camp.
We enjoy discovery and magic each day.
We take the time to create individual Quiet Spots in nature.
We all are musicians and artists.
We tell a unique story of each day, reflecting on our journey.
We create a community of wonder, mutual respect, and joy in nature.
We share what we have learned.
