Camp Friendship is a summer camp located in Palmyra, Virginia, for children ages 6-16 looking to increase self-esteem, develop additional friendships, and gaining social competence. Camp Friendship hosts campers from all over the United States, as well from around the world. There are separate camps for grade school and high school children. There is also a Challenge program, where campers take week to two week trips into the wilderness to participate in activities such as caving, mountain biking, and hang gliding.
