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.

*NEW OPTION* If you cannot make it for the whole retreat, but you were still wanting to come, you can do a Saturday only option for $40. That will include all programming that day and up to three meals! When you go to register, just pick that option!
Day Camp and Kick off to Summer Event registrations open on Monday! Our overnight campers loves sharing the day with our day campers at camp! If you have a camper that is not old enough or not ready for sleep away camp, day camp is just the way to go! Kick off to Summer is a great way for new and returning campers and families to meet staff, get a feel for what camp will be like this summer, enjoy a meal, do fun activities, and end with smores and worship! We hope to see you at one or both of these awesome day time opportunities this summer!
Are you or someone you know an EMT or Stat of Maryland Nurse? Do you love camp, kids, and the outdoors? Then this is a great opportunity for you. We are looking for weekly nurses for each week of summer camp this summer. Come spend a week with us here in the beautiful rolling hills of Maryland.
As a weekly Nurse we would need you from Sunday afternoon before check-in until Friday afternoon at check-out. There is potential for some flexibility. We offer room and board while you are here along with a few different means of payment. You could always volunteer your week- you still get the room and board and a free t-shirt, OR a weekly stipend- exact amount D.O.E. reach out for inquiry, OR a free week of camp for a child in your life, they do not have to be a child in your home- it can be anyone in your life.
