Day Camp

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.

Overnight Camp

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.

426 Acres of Fun!

Nature, Adventure, Community

Manidokan Camp and Retreat Center is a peaceful and scenic sanctuary along the Potomac River, nestled in the rolling hills of southern Washington County, Maryland. Owned and operated by the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church since 1949, Manidokan has become a beloved retreat for those seeking to reconnect with nature and find inner peace. With 426 acres of pristine forest and riverfront, this tranquil destination offers a unique blend of natural beauty and spiritual reflection.

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.
