Out of concern for the health and safety of our campers and staff, Melwood will regrettably not be able to offer overnight or specialty overnight camps this summer. This was not an easy decision to make, but we are excited to be exploring new ways to safely hold a modified version of day camp programming. Please stay tuned to Melwood.org or @Melwood Recreation Center’s social media for more information over the coming weeks. If you have any additional questions, you can contact Julie Smith at jusmith@melwood.org.
A key component to the fulfillment of our mission is the support we provide to children, youth and adults of all abilities through enriching recreational activities. The Melwood Recreation Center is a beautiful 108-acre facility located on the Nanjemoy Peninsula in rural Charles County, Maryland. With a diverse offering of lodge-style cabins, challenge courses, almost 10 miles of hiking trails, aquatic and equestrian facilities, and a variety of meeting spaces all set in a serene natural environment, it is a versatile location that can accommodate a wide range of events. The Melwood Recreation Center is located approximately one hour south of Washington, DC and is a short, 12-mile drive west of La Plata, Maryland.
Throughout the course of the year, the Melwood Recreation Center operates four core programs: Camp Accomplish, an inclusive camp for kids of all abilities; Access Adventures, an assisted travel program for adults of differing abilities; the Equestrian Program, offering therapeutic and general horsemanship lessons and trail riding activities to riders of all ages and abilities; and the Retreat Center, customizable rentals and retreats to make any special event memorable.
The Melwood Recreation Center has made an impression on the lives of hundreds of campers, their families, and program volunteers. Hear first hand their stories about how the Melwood Recreation programs have made a difference in their lives.
