Welcome to Camp Strawderman

For nearly a century, Camp Strawderman has been a trusted summer home for girls ages 6–17. With deep traditions, wild-hearted joy, and space to grow up a little and laugh a lot, our camp offers an unplugged, confidence-building experience in the heart of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.

Stylized graphic with a dark background, featuring the text 'Virginia Living' at the top, 'Best of Virginia' in large, decorative letters in the center, and '2025' at the bottom, surrounded by star-like sparkles and scroll elements.
