Christchurch Summer 2026

Summer Programs on the River

Each summer, Christchurch opens its 125-acre waterfront campus to young people from across the region. Our own day and overnight camps bring the river to life through sports, sailing, and outdoor adventure, and we welcome a handful of visiting programs who make the most of our fields, trails, and shoreline. There is something here for every kind of summer.

Beyond the Camps

Rent Our Campus

Christchurch School's 125-acre waterfront property in Middlesex County, Virginia offers a rare setting for camps, retreats, and events. We are one hour east of Richmond, and about two and a half hours south of Northern Virginia and the Washington, DC area. The campus includes athletic fields, wooded trails, a sandy beach, a sailing pavilion, and a dock on the Rappahannock River.
