Horizons at Hemlock at a Glance

Horizons at Hemlock Overlook provides rustic comfort and is perfectly designed for youth retreats. A hidden gem nestled in the tree canopy near Clifton, Va., Hemlock holds a special place in the heart of many in the community. With its proximity to all that Northern VA and DC have to offer, Hemlock offers a quiet nook to escape the hustle and bustle. Many now grown adults can share their memories of youth field trips to this legacy venue. Today, under the guidance of Horizons, Hemlock provides a safe, home base for youth programs to experience the outdoors in a meaningful way with adventure, teambuilding and environmental education programs. This venue is also available to user groups like churches and private camps who need a home for their own programs.
