N
o matter the weather,
summer days at Calleva
are guaranteed to be
action-packed, whether
it’s navigating big water,
exploring fauna and
flora in pristine wilderness areas,
or riding a horse for the first time
down farmland trails. From its hub
in Poolesville, Calleva manages a
wide range of outdoor educational
and adventure activities around
the region. From the Calleva Farm
in Dickerson and its Farm Store in
downtown Poolesville to the Cal-
leva River School & Summer Camp
at Riley’s Lock on the C&O Canal,
Calleva Virginia summer camp, and
an aerial adventure course at Ma-
deira School in Great Falls, Virginia,
the possibilities are myriad for
people of all ages.

Adventure Racing: “The annual Calleva adventure race gives athletes the opportunity
to test their limits or just have a fun day banging through the woods, pedaling through
beautiful countryside, and paddling our local waterways.” – Nick Markoff
