Member Discounts

Camp Scholarships

With help from the Boxerwood Education Foundation (BEF), we are able to extend partial and full scholarships to campers in need. This funding is linked to a program administered by Virginia’s Dept of Education, so we are required to collect basic income data from all fund recipients. We award scholarships on the basis of need and availability of BEF funds. Campers and Junior Counselors alike are eligible for scholarships.

To apply for a scholarship, complete this form and submit it to info@boxerwood.org on the same day you submit your camper and/or Jr Counselor application(s).

Camp Director: Caroline Coons

There’s more to trees than meets the eye! Using our senses and imagination we’ll explore Boxerwood to get to know some special trees – and the creatures who depend on them. Roaming the woodland garden in small, counselor-led groups, we’ll discover the secrets of trees through play, storytelling, observations, and art.

8:30am drop off | 1:00pm pick up
Max enrollment: 30 campers & 4 junior counselors
Camp Director: Caroline Coons

REturn to Boxerwood for a special week in which we come together to help the Earth by REcycling, REusing, REpairing, and REnewing! Working in small, counselor-led teams, we’ll help REstore Boxerwood with our hands, minds, and hearts. Our outdoor play, art, and REvitalizing projects will help us REalize community, too!

Junior Counselor Details

Older children (rising 4th graders and up) may apply to participate in camp as Junior Counselors for a reduced enrollment fee. Spots are limited to 4 Junior Counselors per camp session. Interest will exceed the number of roles we have to offer. Regrettably, we will not be able to extend invitations to every child who wants to help. Thank you -- to you and your child -- for your hearts' love of Boxerwood.

Application Portals Open Feb 15, 2024

Camps fill quickly, and regrettably, we may not be able to offer a spot to every camper. When we reach enrollment capacity, each additional camper applicant will be placed on a waitlist in the order the applications were received.

Thank you for understanding. We appreciate your interest and ongoing support for all things Boxerwood.
