Riverview Camp For Girls

Overview

Recognized as one of the South’s favorite all-around summer camps for girls, Riverview’s Christian emphasis and exciting programs are appreciated by both parents and campers! Riverview offers both one-and two-week camp sessions for girls ages 6 to 16. Dr. Larry and Susan Hooks are the Directors and Owners and have been Camp Directors since 1983.

Riverview offers an incredible combination of unique, exhilarating activities in an oasis of peaceful nature. “Peaceful”… is the word used most often to describe the Riverview Campus! “Exciting” is the word used to describe our camp activity choices which include Riding (both English and Western), swimming (heated pool), tennis, ropes course, climbing tower, canoeing, golf, archery, gymnastics, cheerleading, dance, flag-twirling, sports, outdoor-living skills class and more. You will enjoy evening programs, Counselor-In-Training Program opportunities and most of all lifelong friendships!

As a Christian camp for girls, Counselors and staff will begin our day with an enthusiastic “good morning and welcome to the day” talk to our campers in a beautiful wooded setting that we call Morning Watch. Vesper campfires are a nightly tradition on our campus that includes a time of singing together and talks to inspire all. Sundays provide the opportunity for worship services for all in our open-air gymnasium…but only after we have served you home-made doughnuts at a pajama breakfast! We also provide transportation to Mass in nearby Fort Payne , AL for staff and campers on Sundays that are not opening days.

Riverview is embraced by tall graceful pines and billowing hardwoods, nestled into a bend of Little River atop Lookout Mountain. Beautiful flower gardens grow along the pebble pathways and building entrances throughout the campground. Girls live in simple yet lovely rustic cabins with the modern conveniences necessary to make camping comfortable.
