Day Off / Time Off

Day Off

  • Stay at camp – you are welcome to relax!
  • Daily bus trips to the Nation’s Capital – Washington D.C.
  • Hagerstown Outlets and Shops – wow, so much to shop and so many great deals. About 25 minutes from camp.
  • Baltimore’s Inner Harbor (ESPN Zone, Shops and fun) – only 1 hour away.

Time Off And On Duty

We aim to provide all counselors with one period off during each day and a few evenings from approximately 10pm until curfew to unwind. Two nights per week, every counselor must take an OD (on-duty) shift watching his/her bunk at night from the end of Evening Activity until counselor curfew. Additionally, the entire staff is on camp every Sunday night for a staff meeting, staff fun activity and/or a host of organized sporting events only for staff.

During time off counselors and other staff may use the camp facilities as long as that use does not interfere with ongoing camper activities. Waterfront facilities are available only when a qualified lifeguard is on duty. The Canteen (snack bar) is open most days from 9:00 PM and 11:45 PM.  We also provide a bus to town most nights for our staff. In addition, on days off, we will do our best to reasonably accommodate staff needs for rides into and out of town. Information regarding camp transportation will be provided when you get to camp.
