About Wildhood Camps
Hi there! My name is Abigail Middleton, and I am a preschool teacher, wife, and mom to two elementary aged kids. Wildhood Camps has been a longtime dream of mine, and I was able to see this dream realized during the summer of 2023 (see a gallery of photos from last summer below). We had an amazing summer of camps, and I am so excited to offer camps again for Summer 2024.All camps will be held on my nearly 5 acre wooded property just outside Blacksburg.Need more information? Please email me using the link below, and I’ll be happy to answer any questions.
