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.

We now offer a gender-inclusive housing option as part of our commitment to inclusion.
