About Camp Hanover

Camp Hanover is a non-profit, faith-based Summer Camp and year-round Retreat Center located on 621 breathtakingly beautiful wooded acres in Mechanicsville, Virginia.

Our mission is to create inclusive community, inspire each other to live in God's love, and equip all people to live out God's call. Our vision is for a world where all people know God's love and embrace beloved community.

For more than 65 years, youth in elementary, middle and high school have come to camp during the summer months to experience an atmosphere of caring and acceptance at every turn, learning to live, work, play, laugh and worship together in Christian community. All year long, groups are invited to connect, refresh, renew, and grow in this sacred space, where guests enjoy comfortable lodging, hearty meals and an atmosphere of radical, uncompromising Christian hospitality.

As an outdoor ministry partner with the Presbytery of the James and Presbyterian Church (USA), Camp Hanover serves as a resource congregations utilize to enhance and strengthen their local ministry efforts, to nurture and deepen the spiritual lives of their congregations, and to provide members with opportunities to practice their faith through mission service and outreach.
