Sports Camp

June 18 - July 7, 2027 | Boys ages 10-14 |

Woodberry Forest Sports Camp offers boys who love sports a three-week experience full of learning, growth, and nonstop play—no matter their skill level or experience.

Campers thrive in a friendly, supportive environment, guided by coaches and counselors who are passionate about teaching not just the fundamentals of the game, but the values behind it—teamwork, effort, and sportsmanship.

With a balance of daily competitions and personalized instruction, each boy has the opportunity to grow as an athlete and as a person. Whether it’s on the field, the court, or the track, there’s one thing every camper has in common: a love of sports and a desire to get better.

This is the camp for the boy who wants to build character and play sports all day long.

Keep up with the action everyday at Sports Camp by following the blog.  

Woodberry Compass

June 19-25, 2027 | Rising 7th, 8th, & 9th graders |

Led by Woodberry’s full-time faculty — Woodberry Compass is where learning meets adventure on our 1,200-acre campus. 

This unique camp experience guides boys through hands-on activities that connect them to nature, their peers, and the wider world.

Your son will:
  • Learn about watershed ecosystems while fly-fishing.
  • Work with a team to create solutions to epic design problems.
  • Develop his approach to leadership and decide what kind of impact he’d like to have on his community back home.
Woodberry Compass asks middle school boys to dive deep into new challenges on our picturesque 1,200-acre Virginia campus.

Each day, campers will have four main activities. In the morning, they'll either hike the Perimeter Trail, fly fish in the Rapidan River, or scale our Climbing Tower. After lunch, boys will work in teams as they learn to code and fly drones through obstacle courses and work on Engineering projects.  
 
 

Football Camp

July 18-21, 2027 | Boys ages 12-16 |

Woodberry Forest School Football Camp is a great opportunity for boys that love playing football or are interested in improving their skill levels as well as knowledge of the game.

The boys will have an opportunity to be coached and learn from our school's football coaching staff with NFL, college and high school playing and coaching experience. The boys will also have access to Woodberry's facilities including grass and turf fields, indoor track and municipal training facility, as well as outdoor pool for cooling off on a hot afternoon.

Our goal as a coaching staff during this camp is to coach and teach the boys football techniques and schemes, as well as facilitate the building of friendships to last for years to come between our campers. Go Tigers!

Basketball Camp

July 22-26, 2027 | Boys ages 10-15 |

Woodberry Forest Basketball Camp is a teaching camp built around a simple belief: we don’t care how good you are when you arrive. We care about who you are willing to become while you’re here.

Campers of all experience levels will be challenged to improve their skills, learn new concepts, compete, and play the game together. But improvement isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it means trying something you’re not good at yet. Sometimes it means making mistakes, accepting coaching, and having the courage to try again.

We believe young people grow by doing hard things.
Our coaches create an environment where campers are expected to train with intention, compete with enthusiasm, encourage one another, and find joy in the process of getting better. Through skill development, small-sided games, team practices, league competition, and 3-on-3 play, campers will be given opportunities to learn — and then challenged to put that learning into action.

We want every camper to leave Woodberry with greater confidence in his game and greater confidence in his ability to learn, respond to challenges, and grow.

 
Woodberry Forest School is an exceptional private school community for high school boys in grades nine through twelve. It is one of the top boarding schools in the United States and one of the only all-boys, all-boarding schools in the country.
