Chanco on the James
Don’t Delay! Register Today for the summer memories of a lifetime!
Summer camp registration at Chanco is in full swing and camp sessions are filling up fast! Register your child or grandchild TODAY for an experience he/she will not soon forget. Chanco is the Diocesan Camp situated on the James River in Surry, Virginia and is a fully accredited camp operating continuously for over 40 years providing youth opportunities for physical challenges, personal growth and lifetime friendships in God’s great outdoors. Space is still available for youth ages 8-18 in all camp sessions. Residential camp activities include swimming, canoeing, kayaking, archery, arts and crafts, chaplain time, the ropes course, zip lines, bonfires, silly songs, games and skits, all supervised by the fantastic Chanco counseling staff.
If your teenaged camper craves more adventure, then the Out Trip sessions might be just the right fit! These sessions will leave Chanco grounds and include activities ranging from caving, climbing and rappelling to jet boat trips, surfing lessons and flat water eco-tours...just to name a few. The Junior/Senior High Conference (ages 13-18) is led by volunteer Christian educators and clergy from around the diocese and is a bargain at $275. This conference combines all the elements of traditional residential camp along with a spiritual themed program.
If your child is ready for an experience full of laughter, fun, new friends, personal growth and increased independence this summer, then Chanco is for him/her! Don’t wait! Visit www.chanco.org today or call 1-888-7CHANCO and sign your child up for the summer experience of a lifetime!
Please remember that the Manakin Women of the Church provide scholarships for all our campers from Manakin!
