summer camp programs

Claggett Center offers week-long, overnight summer camp programs in Maryland for youth completing 2nd grade through recently graduated high school seniors. Rooted in Christian tradition and grounded in Scripture, our summer camp is a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland and in partnership with the Episcopal Diocese of Washington that creates space for fun, faith, and friendship.

Campers experience the joy of outdoor adventure and spiritual formation through activities like swimming, ropes course challenges, kayaking on the Monocacy River, skits, games, small group discussion, and campfire worship. Each week, a chaplain walks alongside campers and staff, participating in daily camp life and offering pastoral support, prayer, and spiritual direction.

Inclusion & Belonging

We believe every camper and staff member is created in the image of God, with identities and perspectives that are sacred. Claggett Camps welcome youth and families of every race, gender identity, sexual orientation, background, and ability.

Since 2023, Claggett has offered a gender-inclusive housing option for Sassafras Seniors and Mulberry Middle camp programs as part of our commitment to inclusion.

Pricing

Each year, camp rates are reviewed and built with the realities of family budgets and the Claggett budget in mind. In recognition of the reality that paying for the true cost of camp may be outside of your family’s budget, Claggett is glad to offer three Tiered options as you go through the Camper Application process.
 
  • The Comprehensive Tier is what it costs to run camp for one camper.
  • The Core Tier has a built in scholarship of between $90 and $115, depending on the program.
  • The Supported Tier has a built in scholarship of between $210 and $290, depending on the program.
If your family would like to request a higher level of scholarship support, please fill out our scholarship application, which will be linked here as soon as it is available.
