Camp Mont Shenandoah in Bath County was founded by Nannie Crump West of Richmond in 1927 as a private venture to serve Richmond’s privileged young women. Encompassing 60 acres today along the Cowpasture River, the camp boasts more than a dozen one- or two-story Rustic-style sleeping cabins, a dining hall, and infirmary, all dating from the 1920s, a lodge from the mid-1930s, among other buildings and structures contributing to the site’s historical significance. At the time of its listing it was operating as a private business serving young women from across the United States. Camp Mont Shenandoah is the oldest girls’ camp in Virginia in continuous operation.
