We believe that our programs work best and change lives most profoundly when campers are able to return year after year. We are also committed to serving children within the Baltimore Yearly Meeting. Therefore, priority is given in this order: returning campers and campers wishing to move between programs, BYM Quakers, other Quakers, and others.
Because our camps fill quickly, your prompt response is important. We try hard to accept as many children as possible. The more flexibility you can offer us the better. Indicating different session choices, and being able to come later in the summer (third session) will help. If you only indicate one choice, you may not get in, even if you are a returning camper. Please indicate and rank alternate session choices only if you are able to accept a choice other than your first choice. Please do not ask us to switch your session after assignments are made. Directors reserve the right to deny acceptance to any applicant.

A NOTE ON OUR PROGRAMS:
Our goal is to foster the kind of self-esteem that facilitates spiritual growth. Opportunities for such growth are created in the process of supporting campers through challenging experiences. Success in negotiating rapids or exploring artistic creativity offers a deeper strength from which to accept the challenge and risk of turning inward toward the Light. Typically, a camper goes home a more competent, confident person whose spiritual roots have deepened and whose ties to the broader Quaker community have strengthened.
