Greenwell Foundation Summer Camps
Greenwell Foundation offers outdoor summer camps for kids ages 7-12 of all abilities. Located in beautiful Greenwell State Park, campers will enjoy exploring the park’s 600 acres of extensive trails, beaches, and coves along the shores of the Patuxent River.
Our Summer Camps are a mixture of fun activities and crafts specific to each camp theme. All camps provide opportunities for campers to enjoy traditional summer camp play and interactions with our farm animals. Experienced camp counselors, certified instructors, and life guards are on staff to lead adventures. Our goal is to provide hands-on experiential fun, unplugged from daily routines. Campers will form lifelong connections to nature and create lasting memories with new friends!
We strive to make all of our Summer Camps inclusive and accessible. If your summer camper requires additional accommodations or you have questions, please reach out to us by calling our office at 301-373-9775.
