About the provider

Camp Viola was founded by Miss Viola Burks. The first encampment was in 1926, and in 1927 Miss Vi purchased 123 acres of land near Mountville, GA. In 1928, the children’s camp became known as Camp Viola. Camp Viola is a private non-profit Christian organization supported by the faith community and other financial partners, and many churches in Troup County host weeks of summer camp there.

Summer camps are sponsored by numerous local churches of varying denominations and are facilitated by both Camp Viola staff and church volunteers. Parents may register an eligible child through a local elementary school that has partnered with a church. Forms should be completed by the child’s parent(s) and turned in to the school’s Guidance Counselor. The Camp Viola Director may initiate a waiting list when slots fill quickly.
