What Our Campers Are Saying
Don't just take it from us, let our campers do the talking!
There is something so special about Riverview; about getting to go away for two weeks every summer and learn so much more about myself in those two weeks than I would ever learn in the other 50 weeks away from camp.
The community we experienced is how I believe God intended for us to live in community with each other. The peace, rest, joy, encouragement, and love poured over us at Riverview is something we grasped on to as campers. God’s exuberant love fills this special camp in Mentone, Alabamain a way that words cannot express.
I am very thankful for what Riverview has done for me. In my daily life often times I find myself wishing I could be at camp. The love and joy I feel while I am at Riverview constantly draws me back. Nothing else in my life has shaped me more into who I am now than the role models and friends I have gained from Riverview and it is something I will cherish forever.

One-week or two-weeks or more…what is best for my child?
Both o
ne-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.
What if I have one child that I want to send for two weeks and another child that I wish to send for one week?
What are the transportation options to camp?
While most parents drive their girls to camp, we offer chaperoned airport pickups in Chattanooga, Birmingham, and Atlanta. 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. Riverview Camp guarantees no alternate means of transportation should the chartered bus need be cancelled. Campers enjoy the trip to and from camp with friends or meeting new friends! Parents are responsible for the full cost of transporting their campers to Riverview. Detailed information can be found in our Parent Information Guide and in the Parent Handbook that we will send out in the spring.My daughter is a younger camper; will her daily needs be met like they are at home?
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!
