Oakland School is located just outside of Charlottesville and 50 minutes from Richmond. For 74 years Oakland School and Summer Camp has helped thousands of children discover new pathways to achieving success. 

Their summer camp session—a day program and sleepaway camp—makes it possible for young learners to make significant academic gains without sacrificing ANY of all the summer camp fun. For 4 1/2 weeks, beginning on June 23, your child can be part of the wonderful world that is Oakland school.

Young learners at Oakland School’s Summer Camp will share in the beauty of their 450 acre farm—exploring nature, horseback riding, swimming, sports, and art—while netting many hours of phonics, reading, writing, and math instruction, all in a personalized, small classroom setting. 

They invite you to join them for an informational session and tour on March 20 at 10 a.m. to learn more about how Oakland School’s Summer Camp and year round program could play a part in making a game-changing difference in your child’s academic journey and confidence.
