Arrival: Participants will take a bus leaving from the Owings Mills JCC at 3:30 PM, to arrive at Capital Camps at ~5:00 PM. Once there, they’ll have time to get set up & ready before the Shabbat fun begins!

Departure: On Sunday, families will pick up their campers at Capital Camps. You’ll have the option of staying through the afternoon for a day of awesome camp activities (like swimming in the lake!) for the full family!

Every day brings a new mix of adventure, creativity, and connection. Campers move between activity areas with their cabin, choosing chugim/electives and exploring every part of our 270-acre campus. Here’s some of what you can expect during a day at Capital Camps:

• Awesome summer activities, like the lake, farm, and ropes course!
• An unforgettable camp-style Shabbat full of singing, dancing, and lots of ruach (spirit)
• A chance for the whole family to join in on the fun on Sunday!

All food at Capital Camps is kosher (Star-K certification) and nut-free. Our kitchen can accommodate a wide array of dietary needs (allergies, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.) – we will be in touch to get this information as the weekend approaches.

All medications will be distributed to participants by staff members. In accordance with the American Camp Association’s guidelines, no participant is permitted to carry medications with them.

Capital Camps & Retreat Center provides fun, challenging and creative camp and retreat experiences that build vibrant Jewish communities and nurture individual growth. 

 As the Mid-Atlantic’s Jewish community camp, we pride ourselves on providing a well-rounded overnight camping experience where kids can go beyond their comfort zones, take calculated risks, and try everything that is available to them.
