Explore on the camp’s website ↗Two counselors and 10 to 12 coed campers live in "Family Groups" where they plan, play, laugh, worship and grow together, working to build a Christ-centered community of trust, openness, sharing and forgiveness. Campers are challenged to know Jesus Christ as their friend and guide as they grow spiritually, physically, emotionally and socially. It is in these small, family groups where each person has the opportunity to contribute to the well being of others. Where he or she can find meaning and purpose for his or her life, through the discovery of God-given gifts and talents.
Camp Hanover is nestled on 600 acres on the outskirts of Mechanicsville, Virginia in Hanover County. Easily accessible from I-64 and I-295, Camp Hanover is an ideal location for retreats, gatherings and special events. Richmond, VA: 25 minutes / 18 miles. Richmond International Airport (RIC): 20 minutes / 12 miles.
We welcome persons of every race, color, gender, religion, nationality, and physical ability. Campers of many faith traditions, as well as campers who have never been to church before, attend and enjoy Camp Hanover's summer camp program. As a Christian camp, we seek to build a Christ-centered community of trust, openness, sharing and forgiveness, where campers can play, laugh, work, worship and grow together, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and socially.
There is nothing more incredible than watching your children go out into the world and come back changed—stronger, more confident, and self-aware. I am blessed to have sent our three to Camp Hanover for many summers and have seen how each has found belonging, identity, and purpose through life lessons and relationships found at Camp.
I have been singing Camp Hanover's praises since my child came home. Camp was a turning point in shaping who he is, gaining confidence and realizing his strengths.

Dates, rates & eligibility ↗Your time at Camp Hanover can include a variety of experiences: faith-building (Bible study, devotions, worship); adventure (archery, challenge course, climbing wall, high ropes, monkey bridge, zipline); water (canoes, corcls, lake swimming, mudslide, paddle boards, pool, tubes); crafts (candlemaking, friendship bracelets, nature crafts, tie-dye); games (field games, four square, gaga ball, nine square in the air, tetherball); and outdoor skills (building fires, cooking, tent camping).
Explore on the camp’s website ↗Campers live in longhouses, simple wooden buildings with eight single beds. Longhouses are situated around camp in pairs, with each pair housing one group of campers all in the same age range. The pair of longhouses share a fire circle and picnic shelter where campers sometimes cook their own meals. Longhouses have electricity, air-conditioning, and ceiling fans. Bathrooms and showers for each campsite are located nearby. During the week, campers may have the opportunity to sleep out in a tent, a treehouse, or "under the stars."
Read more on the camp’s website ↗We believe that every child should experience the powerful impact that summer camp at Camp Hanover provides, regardless of income. For this reason we also provide "Camperships" (our word for financial aid), so that no child should be denied that experience because of financial hardship. If camp fees present a challenge for your family, please contact us at (804) 779-2811 or email info@CampHanover.org.
Read more on the camp’s website ↗Our meals are very kid friendly. Camper favorites include spaghetti, pizza, burgers, lasagna, tacos, and macaroni and cheese. Sides and a salad bar are included with lunch and dinner. Food is served family style, which means each group of campers receives big bowls of the meal's food items to share. Our summer camp menu is peanut- and tree-nut free. At each meal, we offer an alternative entree and sides for those with gluten allergies or vegetarian diets. Our food service manager is happy to talk with you prior to your child's camp arrival about our menus and any special concerns you may have about your child's dietary needs.
Read more on the camp’s website ↗We have medical personnel on duty 24 hours a day in our Health Center. During check-in you will have the opportunity to discuss any health concerns with the camp nurse. Additionally, our summer camp staff are trained in first aid and CPR. In preparation for summer camp, we invite local Emergency Medical Services personnel to the site so they may become familiar with our layout and review our emergency plan.
