Join in the fun of camp for a whole week but sleep in your own bed! Day camps are offered each week through the summer and parents know their kids are safe and enjoying activities outdoors instead of plugged into electronics.
Get a week away and enjoy all that Manidokan offers: swimming, boating, climbing, ziplines, games and much more! Half-week and One-week residential camps are offered for entering 2nd graders to 12th graders.
Manidokan is a vast 426-acre camp and retreat center designed for exploration and rejuvenation. Overlooking the Potomac River and located near the historic C&O Canal, the camp provides visitors with opportunities for hiking, swimming, high ropes courses, and group activities, fostering a sense of community and personal growth. Positioned on the historic Harpers Ferry Road between Sharpsburg and Sandy Hook, Manidokan offers a place for guests of all ages to immerse themselves in nature’s splendor, refresh their spirits, and create lasting memories.
