Summer Camp Highlights
WOW, what a summer!
That's a wrap for Camp Chanco 2025! From soaring through the trees on the ropes course to sunset worship on the Bluff, our campers experienced unforgettable moments filled with adventure, friendship, laughter, and faith. Days were spent cheering each other on in team challenges, splashing in the pool, and exploring in the outdoors, while nights were filled with campfire stories under the stars and sharing quiet moments of reflection in God’s beautiful creation. And the backdrop of everything we did was God's love, expressed through our theme: "You are loved...pass it on!" This camp season was one of the best ones yet, and we are thrilled that we got to experience it with YOU!

Chango for Chanco
All together, your campers donated a total of $1,316.67 towards our Change for Chanco project—WOW, what an accomplishment! These funds will be used to create shaded hangout areas with new picnic tables and umbrellas near the canteen and game zone, giving campers a fresh new spot to cool off at, socialize, and reenergize for the next round of fun. Thank you for all of your time and efforts spent supporting your camper's donations. And the best part? They'll get to enjoy the benefits of it when they return to camp next summer!
Want to make a difference? It's not too late to give!

2026 Camp Registration
This summer was such a blast—we already cannot wait for the next season! 2026 camp registration opens in September, so be on the lookout for a special email coming soon containing camp dates, rates, and registration links. And don't forget, for every camper you refer who registers for a camp session, your camper receives $100 Chanco Bucks to use toward their own registration or at the Canteen.
Most importantly, we thank you for sharing your child with us and for choosing Chanco on the James. It is families like you that make Chanco the number one summer camp in Virginia year after year, as named by Virginia Living Magazine.
It's not goodbye—it's see you next summer, Chanco Campers!
