2023 Summer Camp at Claggett

The Claggett Center offers week-long, residential, camp programs for youth completing 2nd grade to recently-graduated high school seniors. Whether climbing high on the ropes course or diving deep at the pool, there's something for everyone here at Claggett. From adventures on the Monocacy River and Sugarloaf Mountain, to swimming, games, campfires and classic skits, campers are sure to create new friendships and renew old ones year after year.

Summer Camps at Claggett are Christian formation ministries of the Episcopal Dioceses of Maryland and Washington. Camp is grounded in Scripture and tradition, and encourages campers and staff to use their whole selves as ways to explore the Christian Story. Each week a chaplain participates in all camp activities, and supports the ministry of camp through prayer, participation and spiritual direction.

Thank you for your support of our Summer Camp programs! We welcome your support of our campers in need by making a donation to the camp scholarship fund. 

Summer Camp Rates:

Claggett Camps are adopting a “Tiered Pricing” system! Tiered pricing allows families to choose a contribution according to their ability. Each pricing tier entitles the camper to a full Claggett experience and there is no differentiation made in the program based on pricing tier. We are excited to introduce the tiered pricing model as a tool to extend our reach, create a diverse, Christ-centered community, and grow Claggett’s camp ministries for many years into the future.  

Tiered pricing helps to make a quality camp experience possible for children from all economic backgrounds, by allowing families to pay what they are able and inviting those who can give more to support the bigger picture of camp operations to do so. It allows us to stretch scholarship funding further, bringing more young people the opportunity to have a life-changing week at Claggett.  

Pricing for 2023 Youth Camps is as follows: 

• Subsidized rate: $500
• This is the historical subsidized rate of summer camp, made possible by Claggett’s operating fund and contributions from individual and group donors who believe in the mission of summer camp. This rate represents costs of lodging, meals, and a portion of program costs.

• Direct Cost rate: $650
• The direct cost rate more closely represents the cost of operating camp for the week of a camper’s experience, including lodging, meals, materials, and a portion of staffing costs.

• True Cost rate: $800
• The true cost rate more closely represents the total financial cost of operating camp, including all listed under direct costs as well as maintenance, insurance, and more.   

A minimum non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to hold your space in the program. Because of the additional cost of materials, a $150 non-refundable deposit is required for Adventure Camp. Please see our payments page for details or contact Rosie Alger with questions. 

Discounts and Scholarships:

Our mission is that no child would be unable to participate in Claggett camps due to financial need. Scholarships are available for all camps using a simple scholarship request form.  

Discounts available for multiple children from the same family. These are automatically applied in online registration. 

Episcopal Clergy and Diocesan Staff Members are eligible for discounted camp registration. Contact Programs Administrator, Rosie Alger, for more information about scholarships and discounts: ralger@claggettcenter.org.

Inclusion at Camp

We believe that summer camp has the power to change lives, through even one week in a community that loves and supports one another unconditionally. Further, we believe that these life-changing camp experiences are for campers and staff members of every race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and background. We believe that every person is created in the image of God, exactly as they are, with experiences and perspectives that are precious to God.
