CAMP OPPORTUNITY

SERVING CHILDREN SINCE 1985

Who are we?

Camp Opportunity of Maryland provides an overnight summer camp experience for Maryland children ages 8-11 who have experienced abuse and neglect. The one-to-one camper-to-counselor ratio and year-round programming are what make the Camp Opportunity experience so powerful.

REAL CAMP LIFE

The activities and classes at camp are designed to build self-esteem, teach problem solving skills, foster relationships with positive adult role models and improve the children’s ability to handle stress.

1-to-1 RATIO

Our 1-to-1 camper to counselor ratio is a core part of what makes Camp Opportunity so special. Each child receives their very own camp counselor for the week, leading to supportive, transformative relationships that can last long after camp is over.

cabin comfort

The grounds contain modern cabins with attached bathrooms, a dining hall, a swimming pool, basketball and gaga courts, an arts barn, and hiking trails.

Traditional summer camp experience

We believe every child deserves the joy and adventure of a traditional summer camp. Our campers experience the magic of the great outdoors—hiking, roasting marshmallows around the fire, playing gaga, and more. From arts and crafts to campfire songs and games, our activities create a fun, supportive environment where kids can just be kids. While our camp is designed to support youth who have experienced abuse and neglect, we provide a classic camp experience filled with laughter, connection, and unforgettable memories.

counselors change lives

Our dedicated counselors play a vital role in creating a safe, supportive environment where campers can grow and thrive. By building trust, fostering connections, and leading by example, they help our campers develop confidence and teamwork skills. Whether guiding an activity or offering quiet encouragement, counselors provide the stability and support that make camp a place where every child feels valued.
