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.
You asked, we listened. Last year and this year both we had people ask since we are doing a young adult retreat why can't we do one for not so young adults? Well, good news! This year we are. Soon there will be a sign up link to sign up, but there will be a Not So Young Anymore retreat for those 36+. For this retreat we will also offer help with child care, up to fifth graders, for those that want both spouses to come to the retreat. We will have staff help look after them while you all are having fun reliving camp! However... you will have to take them at night. We will do all of your typical camp things crammed into a weekend for our 36+ friends. Sabrina Merrill will be here to help lead this retreat for us! So even if it's just to hang out with her, come on out! It will be the weekend of August 21-23, so go ahead and put it on your calendar. If you have any questions, please email Jarrett at program@manidokan.com. We're doing it, so we want you to come!
There is still time to register for the Children and Youth Director Retreat! Come see the amazing Stephanie Caro! Come learn some things, rest and relax. This is a great time to learn more about the amazing ministry we are all in with children and youth!
