Summer with Friends

Dear Summer Camp Parents,

We want to welcome you and your children to this season of the Virginia Beach Friends School Summer Camp!  Whether you are a new or returning camp family, we’re excited to have you join us.

Friends School Summer Camps offer participants a variety of enriching opportunities consistent with the values of a Friends School education.  These values include a commitment to diversity while respecting the individual; the stimulation of intellectual and personal growth; and the building of our summer camp community.

We look forward to serving you.

Dafna Sonnenthal
