A SUPER STAFF The heart and soul of a great camp is a strong staff, and the counselors at Camp Virginia are first-rate. Many of our counselors began as campers, and there is very little turnover from year to year. Youthful enthusiasm, energy and role modeling is blended with the leadership provided by a core of career educators. As Kennedy and Kimball say in Choosing the Right Camp, The staff here is noticeably more mature than at most camps. It is an advantage that is telling in many ways, but particularly in the overseeing of individual campers.” OWNER and DIRECTORS 1928-1985 Coach Malcolm U.
