Residential multi-activity camp in Belgrade, United States

Runoia is one of the oldest girls camps in America, and has balanced traditional camp programming with progressive values for nearly 120 years. Our community is low-drama and not competitive, instead, girls come to Runoia to build lifelong skills and develop lifelong friendships. Community-living is key at Runoia, and girls get to connect with all campers and staff throughout camp. Runoia's leadership team is hands-on and gets to know each individual camper and their parents. We have roughly 1 staff member for every 2 campers, so no camper "falls through the cracks." Our most popular activities include Sailing, Archery, Horseback Riding, Water Skiing, and a variety of creative arts.

Incredibly special camp experience for my 8.5yo daughter. She loved it so much, and is a changed kid!

For the 5th consecutive summer, my daughter has been happily attending Runoia, a place that holds a special spot in her heart. Here, she finds herself immersed in nature, trying out new sports, exploring a diverse array of activities, and forming deep connections with fellow girls who have become her closest friends. Safety is a top priority for the Runoia leadership, and they hold their staff to high standards. Situated on the picturesque shore of a beautiful lake, the location couldn't be more idyllic. We are immensely grateful to the entire Runoia team for creating such a special place. Our daughter always returns as her best self, and always grows an inch or two while there!

Our daughters and now our granddaughters have spent many summers at Camp Runoia! We all love it! It is creative, fun, skill-building, friendly option for girls. I wish I could go!

My daughter has gone to camp here the past two years, and she comes back happy, relaxed, and full of stories about everything she did there. It feels like a place that develops community, and helps all the girls feel welcome and at home. We are grateful to have found this place!
