In 1927, the Stonewall Jackson Area Council held its first summer camp near Natural Bridge, using the Roanoke Council's Camp Powhatan. The next year Mr. J.W. Fix laid out the second summer camp called Camp Stonewall at Blue Hole near Deerfield. The following year Mr. Fix laid out another campalong Buffalo Creek, near Lexington. In 1930 the camp was moved to Island Ford on the Shenandoah River near McGaheysville. The Island Ford camp was renamed Camp Shenandoah and used for 20 years under the leadership of Mr. Fix.

Land was purchased in 1949 for a permanent Council Scout Camp near Swoope. S. Dexter Forbes headed the fundraising drive for the purchase of the new camp. The new camp was also called Camp Shenandoah and has been used for Scout camping since the summer of 1950. Camp Shenandoah is owned and operated by the Stonewall Jackson Area Council, BSA and is open for camping on a year-round basis.
In 1999, approximately 150 acres was purchased adjacent to the main camp. This land comprises the Wallenborn Ecological Reserve and is being improved for wildlife habitat and ecological studies.
Camp Shenandoah's acreage now totals 454 acres.

As the "Classic Scout Camp of the Blue Ridge Mountains" the programs offer an enriching experience for individual scouts and units as a whole.
The fun and exciting Twilight Recreation programs will be a refreshing end of day activity.
