While all campers are supervised and cared for with respect to cleanliness, camp clean up and mealtimes, there is still so much room for personal growth during their time at camp. Making their own decisions, problem solving or communicating concerns with counselors; these different scenarios all contribute toward the priceless goal of growing a few inches in regards to stature, happiness and confidence by the time their experience at camp comes to an end.

During the course of the four weeks CEMA Interns also help coordinate and run an end of camp special event with the other CEMA Interns and one of our program coordinators/directors. There are various other responsibilities with the CEMA Internship program such as assisting with the programs on half-staff days and performing community service in the local Anne Arundel County community.

We are aware that many children have food allergies, dietary restrictions or simply strong preferences. We aim to cater to all of these by communicating with families and children prior to the summer camp.  For this reason we require that all kids bring their lunch and mid day snacks.

We offer 4 main program areas and offer a balanced program from these activities. They are Entertainment, Music, Arts, and Adventure. In each of these areas we offer constructive teaching and coaching of skills. Ultimately, we want the activities to be fun and safe. As always, the counselors – their energy, expertise, preparation, commitment to the child and to the camp culture – will be the difference.
