Camp Virginia Jaycee
(Bedford County, Virginia)
What is Camp Work Party? Twice a year Jaycees from around the state come
together to help open up or close down Camp Virginia Jaycee for the year. In return, Camp
Virginia Jaycee invites Jaycees to stay in the Cabins free of charge and
provides food and various beverages for the weekend of the Camp Work Party.
Camp Virginia Jaycee is located in the beautiful rolling mountains near Roanoke,
Virginia.
What do we do at the Camp? On Saturday, everyone will be given a task (no
experience necessary). The last couple of years, Richmond Jaycees have helped
repair and build fences around the camp. Other jobs may include cleaning,
painting, building and repairing items around the camp. Typically, Saturday
evening is time to relax and spend with friends (a.k.a. have a party). The
cabins have electricity, heat, running water, indoor plumbing including showers,
and cots. All you have to bring is a sleeping bag to put on a cot.
How do you get to the camp? You can drive by yourself or carpool with any
of the other Jaycees who will be attending the work party. The camp is about a 2
1/4 hour drive to 3 hour drive depending on how fast you drive and where you
start from in the Richmond Metro area. You can arrive at the camp on Friday
evening or Saturday morning. You can leave Saturday night or stay until Sunday
morning. Everything is flexible to work into your schedule.
Don't forget to bring donations to the Camp Supply Drive and work gloves
& clothes, clothes to relax in and toiletries. Entertainment items (i.e. cards,
games, music, etc.) are also encouraged.
