Girls ages 6 to 16! We have accepted campers that are about to turn 6 as well, if you as a parent feels she is socially independent enough to enjoy camp! We have adequate numbers in all age groups. It is an amazing combination of wonder and delightful camaraderie as girls of all ages enjoy camp together, while taking activities and living in cabins with their own age/grade range!

Delightful families! You will join other families who seek opportunities for their daughters to be in Christian environments for safe, exciting and fulfilling opportunities, including the getting to meet girls from a diversity of families and faiths. We are privileged to have many campers of moms who were themselves campers and counselors with us!

• One-Week Session M (First camp session each summer and runs concurrent with Session A and the first week of Session 1. The only session that includes a 3-hour horseback riding program.) • Two-Week Session 1 (Sessions A and B are one-week program options during Session 1) • Two-Week Session 2 (Sessions C and D are one-week program options during Session 2) • Two-Week Session 3 (two-week campers only) • Two-Week Session 4 (Sessions E and F are the one-week options during Session 4) Some campers enjoy combining one-week and two-week sessions for a 3 week or longer stay. (Example Session 1 and Session C).  

Both one-week and two-week campers will enjoy the experience and benefits that camp offers. Most of our campers attend a two-week session, though we have one-week campers who attend each session.

If possible, we recommend that your camper attends for two-weeks. Campers tend to get “settled in” during the first week and the following week they spend more time developing skills in activities, making stronger friendships and enjoying the feeling of “my camp”. While this experience begins and is meaningful in the one-week program, it is firmly absorbed in the two-week progression. If she initially signs up for one week and wants to extend her stay, you may add on another week, if there is a space available! Each session we have campers who are multi-session campers who attend three, four, five, six and even eight weeks. Multi-session campers enjoy a chaperoned excursion between sessions to nearby Chattanooga.  

As you can see our one-week options are a part of our two-week sessions! If you have more than one child that you are sending to Riverview and you are considering sending one child for two weeks and one child for one week, we recommend that, if possible, the one-week camper attend the second one-week program in that session! It is usually easier for your two-week daughter to anticipate the arrival of her sister than for her to have to see the departure of her sister in the middle of her two-week program!

While most parents drive their girls to camp, we offer chaperoned airport pickups in Chattanooga (preferred), Birmingham, Atlanta and Fort Payne's Isbell Field Airports. As a service, we offer limited chartered, chaperoned buses that normally include Baton Rouge and/or Covington/Mandeville, LA; Mobile, Evergreen, Montgomery and Birmingham, AL. .HOWEVER, DURING THE SUMMER OF 2022 RIVERVIEW WILL NOT BE OFFERING BUS TRANSPORTATION TO OR FROM CAMP.

We understand that the younger camper needs more guidance, direction and personal-care time. Counselors are trained to assist the younger children with their daily needs, including personal hygiene, scheduling and meal times.  We have programs in place to make this an easy transition for your young child.  Please let us know any specifics about your child’s daily needs…we are here to help!   Your child may find it helpful if you organize her clothing in Ziploc bags labeled by day or evening (include t-shirt, shorts, underwear, socks) to assist with her morning and evening routines. Also please send Velcro tennis shoes to make her camp life easier! Younger campers will need to practice washing her hair in the shower before she comes to camp. These recommendations will just make camp life easier for the young camper!

The benefits of camping will include the opportunity to build self-confidence, strengthen social skills, increase cooperation, explore new activities, appreciate nature, form lasting memories and, experience healthy friendships interact with positive adult role models and grow closer to God. As you look through our website, we hope you hear our hearts…we just want to take care of your daughters in a safe place, providing great opportunities, good role models and creating opportunities for life-long meaningfulness … while we “empower” them to make good decisions in life! One of the goals that most of our parents/guardians tell us is that their wish is to lead their girls into becoming independent, confident children/young adults and enhance their childhood, teen years and their adulthood! Regardless of their length of stay, at camp…it is amazing how children will grow…Grow self-confidence and friendships and values that last a lifetime! We think that “family” is the most important part of her life and we are grateful to be a part of your child’s “camp family”! We are so fortunate! To you, the parents and guardians, we just want to say Thank you! We believe that children are the wondrous beginnings that make a profound difference in the world around us! Your confidence in your child and in Riverview will by sensed by your child and will be celebrated by Riverview as we commit to support your parental success. To increase your confidence in Riverview, please watch the on-line segments from our parents and staff… listen to their experiences as well!
