Camp Virgil Tate provides the Kanawha Valley a venue full of educational opportunities. They make every effort to provide a beautiful outdoor space for fostering youth development through nature-based play and learning. Camp Virgil Tate partners with various government agencies, education out-reach programs, community associations, and groups with an interest in the development of youth. By providing a place filled with opportunities, they encourage groups that use their space to enable youth to learn about themselves, foster a sense of empathy, serve others in their community and their world, and grow into productive citizens and tomorrow’s leaders.
