2021 Summer Camp Registration Now Open!
Summer camp allows children to play and wonder as they explore the world around them with friends, old and new! Campers will get their hands wet and feet muddy while exploring our 12-acre Park campus with wooded-trails, a secluded cove, and marsh habitat on the shores of Back Creek. This summer, join us as we play in the woods and water, discover more about our local maritime heritage, and become inspired environmental stewards!
Check out our summer camp sessions for campers entering Kindergarten through 6th grade. Activities are specifically designed with each age group in mind. Our youngest campers will enjoy hands-on animal investigations, water play, arts and crafts, and stories, while campers in 4th-6th grade are challenged with additional water-based adventures including kayak and boat excursions, standup paddle boarding, and fishing.
Here’s an example of what your camper might do on a typical day at AMM Summer Camp! Activities vary daily according to the camp theme and age.
AMM has created a comprehensive Camp COVID Response Plan following guidance from the State of Maryland and the American Camp Association. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
The staff to camper ratio is 1:8.
Campers will be in groups based on their age and enrollment for the week. Kindergarten groups typically have 12 campers. All other groups typically have 16-18 campers. In sessions with high enrollment, campers will be split into smaller groups based on their age.
Yes! Before-care runs from 8-9am Monday-Friday and is $40/week. After-care runs from 3:30-5:30pm Monday-Friday and is $70/week. We offer a drop-in rate per day of $10/before and $18/after care, please email Camp Director at [email protected] to drop-in (24 hour advance notice required).
Campers need to bring a non-perishable lunch each day. We will provide an afternoon snack during camp and an additional snack for campers staying for after care. Snacks will vary daily and may include fresh fruit, pretzels, crackers, popsicles, or s’mores.
After registering you will receive a confirmation email with additional information attached. Please read the “Summer Camp Parent Information Packet.” Additional information and reminders specific to your child’s camp session will be sent approximately 1 week before the start of that session.
Each camper must bring the completed AMM Health Form-2021 to the first day of camp. If your child must bring medication to camp (either for emergencies or daily administration), you must also complete the Medication Administration Authorization Form. This form must be signed by a parent/guardian AND the child’s physician. This form must be completed for any prescription AND over-the-counter medications. This form should be turned in to the Camp Director with the medication on the first day of camp.
Campers entering grades 4 and above will also need to complete waivers to participate in excursions with providers, such as Capital SUP. These forms will be emailed and can be found here as well. Additional waiver forms for campers participating in a travel camp will be sent to those campers. Waivers must be turned in in person on the first day of your child’s camp session (only once per summer). Note: campers are continuously supervised by AMM staff while participating in these programs.
