Camp Overview
The Claggett Center offers week-long, residential, camp programs for youth completing 2nd grade to recently-graduated high school seniors. Whether climbing high on the ropes course or diving deep at the pool, there's something for everyone here at Claggett. From adventures on the Monocacy River and Sugarloaf Mountain, to swimming, games, campfires and classic skits, campers are sure to create new friendships and renew old ones year after year.
Summer Camps at Claggett are Christian formation ministries of the Episcopal Dioceses of Maryland and Washington. Camp is grounded in Scripture and tradition, and encourages campers and staff to use their whole selves as ways to explore the Christian Story. Each week a chaplain participates in all camp activities, and supports the ministry of camp through prayer, participation and spiritual direction.

Staff Time Off
Staff are off in between camp sessions, from 8 p.m. Friday until 2 p.m. Sunday each week (except during staff training and one weekend camp). Each day, every staff member has a scheduled 90 minute-2 hour break. After lights-out, staff may socialize until curfew unless they are scheduled for dorm supervision duty. Staff are welcome to utilize the (air-conditioned) staff lounge area during their breaks.
Staff Qualities
Claggett is looking for energetic staff excited to dive into a vibrant community of campers and counselors. We are especially looking for counselors who can lifeguard or are willing to become certified as a lifeguard.
