Virginia Outside is an outdoor education provider based in Roanoke, Virginia, offering youth fishing and mountain biking camps across Roanoke and Richmond. The organization runs multi-day and weeklong programs including Roanoke Fish N' Fun, Richmond Fish N' Fun, Richmond Mountain Biking (9-14), Richmond Adventure Fishing, and associated waitlists for sold-out sessions. The programs are designed for children ages 6–14 and combine hands-on skill instruction with outdoor exploration. Campers learn freshwater fishing techniques such as casting, knot tying, and fish identification while exploring local ponds, rivers, and private ponds. The Roanoke Fish N' Fun program highlights a two-day fishing camp with a low counselor-to-camper ratio focused on building confidence. Richmond Adventure Fishing and Richmond Fish N' Fun expand those skills over weeklong sessions that include river time and nature-based activities. Mountain biking offerings, including Richmond Mountain Biking (9-14), focus on technical skill development on urban trails, daily rides, and outdoor recreation tied to local features such as the James River. Camps emphasize safety, age-appropriate instruction, and peer camaraderie, helping young riders gain confidence and competence. Virginia Outside communicates program details, scheduling, and waitlist options for high-demand camps like RVA FISH N FUN WAITLIST and RVA MTB WAITLIST (9-14).
