About the Camp - Summer at Friends

Campus is closed, but we are working remotely.

If you need to reach us, please email summercamp@friendsbalt.org, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

2020 Camp Update

There is much uncertainty concerning the Covid-19 outbreak; but our commitment to offering safe, quality summer camp programming continues.

After carefully considering the current Baltimore City “Stay at Home” order, the State’s limits on group sizes, guidelines from the CDC, and other factors involved in operating camp safely and appropriately in these challenging times, we made the difficult decision to cancel all on-campus camps for weeks 1 through 4 (June 15-July 10). All monies paid will be refunded.

At this time, we are also temporarily suspending registration for weeks 5 through 8 (July 13-August 7). We will continue to monitor the situation and share information here on our website.

What’s next?
Check out our Virtual Summer Programs for ages 4-13, June 15-July 10

While these classes are not camp as we’ve known it, they will still offer new and creative content for our campers and provide opportunities to interact with fellow-campers. These programs are reimagined versions of some of your favorite camps.

If you have any questions, please email us: summercamp@friendsbalt.org

We miss our Summer at Friends family and look forward to being together again on campus.

Traditional Day Camps: Our popular Day Camps are jam-packed with fun-filled activities. This is the stuff childhood memories are made of!

Fine Arts Camps: For budding artists, actors, dancers, and musicians, our Fine Arts Camps pull out all the stops to provide campers with performance opportunities and hands-on experience.

Creative Technology Camps: More than just tech! All of our Creative Technology Camps offer more than just time in a computer lab. Campers take advantage of our whole campus enjoying a mix of indoor and outdoor activities – including daily swimming! Entertaining lessons and exciting challenges are guided but self paced – with as much or as little counselor assistance as needed – to inspire creativity and instill confidence! Campers highlight their projects and new skills during the Tech Showcases at the close of each two-week session! These perennial favorites fill up quickly, and with limited enrollment, you’ll want to register early!

Counselor-in-Training Program for ages 14-15.

Come play with us!

Summer at Friends offers a variety of fun, enriching day camps for boys and girls ages 4 through 13. Led by energetic and enthusiastic staff who love working with kids, campers form friendships and discover the joy of learning new skills in a safe, supportive environment.

Safe. Supervised. Super-fun!

Summer at Friends programs are certified by the State of Maryland for compliance with Youth Camp Safety Regulations. Our Registered Nurse is on campus during camp hours, and certified Water Safety Instructors and Lifeguards lead daily swimming instruction and recreational swim. Our team of experienced teachers and counselors guides children through a busy day that includes plenty of water breaks, sunscreen checks and camp spirit.

Experience the Quaker Dimension

In accordance with the Quaker philosophy of Friends School, our program strives to instill feelings of self-worth and confidence in every camper and to encourage respect, cooperation and consideration of others. We celebrate diversity and believe in the unique worth of each individual. All programs are open to non-Friends School students.
