Room for groups of every size on a campus built for worship, rest, and a whole lot of fun.
Serving families since 1940
Virginia Nazarene Retreat Center has been a haven for kids, families, and church groups since 1940. We're tucked into the heart of Virginia in Buckingham, with room for everything from a small getaway to a gathering of a thousand.
Whether you're here for a week of summer camp or a weekend retreat, our goal is the same. We want everyone who comes onto these grounds to leave refreshed mentally, spiritually, and physically.
About the Retreat Center
Start here
Retreats, conferences, weddings, and banquets. Tell us your dates and group size and we'll put together a quote.
Kids camp, teen camp, family camp, and retreats through the Virginia District Church of the Nazarene.
Pray, give, or volunteer. Every bit helps keep this place ready for the next group that comes through the gate.
The grounds
Meet in the tabernacle or the chapel, eat together in the dining hall, and stay in dorms, lodges, or cottages. Everything is on one campus, so your group stays together.

Swimming pool, climbing wall, disc golf, paddle boats, fishing, archery tag, laser tag, low ropes course, gaga ball, knockerball, 9 Square, and glow night games.

From our camp family
“Just from spending the day there we knew this was a special place where the Holy Spirit frequently showed up. After our first family camp we were sold. We decided that no matter where the Navy sent us we would come back for family camp every year.”

“Welcome to the home of the red clay and to a place filled with the sweet, sweet presence of the Lord! My sanctuary. May the Lord richly bless your time and ministry!”
