Alta Mons is the outdoor ministry of the Valley Ridge District of the United Methodist Church and encompasses over 850 acres of beautiful land in Shawsville, VA. Every year we have summer camp, which offers week, half-week, or day-long camping experiences for youth from kindergarten through 12th grade. Throughout the week our chaplain speaks to the campers about Christian topics like prayer, the church, and the love of Jesus. At night campers worship together around a campfire. Campers experience small group bonding with their units during arts and crafts, low ropes, field games, and sessions at the Nature Hut.  Each Wednesday all resident campers participate in Home in the Woods, where campers and staff set up campsites, cook their dinner over a fire, and sleep under the stars. Every camper receives a camp t-shirt (included with the cost of registration) that they will tie dye during their time at camp. Don’t miss out on the experience of a lifetime—register today!

Camp Bethel has offered weekly summer camps and family adventures since 1927! Camp Bethel is the outdoor ministry of the Virlina District Church of the Brethren that exists to foster and build relationships with God, with each other, and with all of God's creation, TOGETHER.  We live this ministry through our summer camps, our services, and availability of our facilities to people of all denominations and backgrounds. In small groups of 10-12 campers and 2-4 counselors, campers play and learn together in an intentional Christian community.

Each summer, as part of our mission to serve as a community resource, North Cross School hosts a variety of summer programs for hundreds of children from across the Roanoke Valley and beyond.
