Summer Camps in Maryland
Maryland has been an important part of American history since the beginning. Its nickname, The Old Line State, references one of George Washington’s most reliable units in the Revolutionary War. Later, Francis Scott Key penned “The Star-Spangled Banner” after seeing the American flag at Maryland’s Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. Today, Maryland’s bustling ports and proximity to Washington, D.C. make it essential to our economy and government, and we know it as a cultural landmark for everything from the famous blue crabs of the Chesapeake Bay to the Baltimore Orioles.
Maryland’s rich history, industry, and geography make it an excellent place to attend summer camp. If you live in The Old Line State, or you think your kids would enjoy visiting, explore the different summer camp options in Maryland using our directory.
