Driving to camp
The beautiful city of Charlottesville, Virginia is approximately one hour west of Richmond, Virginia on Interstate 64, two hours southwest from Washington, DC and three and a half hours north of Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina.
Campers driving themselves and staying in the dorms will need to purchase a parking permit to park on grounds. The University permit will be an additional $18. Campers will not be allowed to use their vehicle during their stay. They will be required to turn in their keys to the dorm supervisor. Campers failing to follow this procedure will be dismissed from the Academy without a refund. I If you plan to drive yourself to camp, please notify the camp staff by July 1, 2007.
Commuting campers and for participants attending the day clinics, parking will be available at the parking garage located on Emmett Street adjacent to Memorial Gymnasium. The hourly rate is $2 per hour and cash will be needed to park for every session. Fees are collected on weekends.
Please be aware that parking spaces around University of Virginia are limited and closely monitored by the Parking and Transportation division. They will ticket all vehicles that do not have the required parking passes or pay the appropriate fees.
