camp massanetta began in 1956, however the residential camping program was suspended in november 2008 and a new direction sought. mission@massanetta provides youth and adults an opportunity to do mission in a variety of arenas within harrisonburg, rockingham county, and augusta county. the "brainy camps" are camps for children and teens with tourette syndrome, asperger syndrome, neurofibromatosis, or epilepsy. the children's national medical center in washington, dc provides the camps and interest has been expressed in expanding to include children and teens with obesity issues and those with facial anomalies (cleft palate, etc.). varsity football and marching band camps are also hosted at camp massanetta.
