Catoctin Quaker Camp

Catoctin Quaker Camp is an outdoor, residential summer camp for ages 9-14. Catoctin is part of BYM Camps - a family of four summer camp programs spread along the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia and Maryland. Operated and stewarded by the Baltimore Yearly Meeting Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), these four programs are unique and distinctive but tied together by a belief in the importance and value of every person. We build communities and experiences that allow everyone — campers and staff — to find their light, shine their light, grow their light, and share their light.

From hiking to canoeing to rock climbing, and creative arts, from group games to group work, our campers develop the kind of self-knowledge and self-esteem that leads to personal, emotional, and spiritual growth. These four camps provide a meaningful and unforgettable summer experience, but more than that they produce in campers a lifetime of lessons, confidence, and connection.
