Description

Camp Mont Shenandoah, one of the oldest camps in Virginia, was started in 1927 by Nannie West, for whom West Lodge is named. The camp has been owned by three generations of the same family since 1948. In the 1930 s, Nannie sold the camp to May Ma Withrow and Eva Gravatt who operated the camp until they sold it in 1948. The purchasers were Mary Lib Patrick, Hazel Cox and Clarence Meadows, former Governor of West Virginia. In 1967, Camp Mont Shenandoah was purchased by Sis Patrick Warner, daughter of Mary Lib Patrick, Bill and Mary Glenn Carrington, Mimi Knight and Hal McVey. Bill Carrington acted as the camp s director through 1996 and Mimi Knight was the program director until 1983. In January of 1997, Ann, daughter of Sis Warner, and Jay Batley became the third generation of owners of Camp Mont Shenandoah. Jay and Ann are the current directors, overseeing the day-to-day operations.
