The CSC Experience
Since 1952, Camp St. Charles has been Maryland’s premier Catholic overnight camp nestled on the banks of the beautiful Wicomico River. Our Christ-centered camp has been providing life-changing summers for boys and girls ages 6-15 to grow in faith, fun, and friendships.
Catholic Life at Camp
Camp St. Charles is a Catholic summer camp rooted in Salvatorian tradition and welcoming to children of all faiths and backgrounds. Faith is woven naturally into camp life through brief morning devotions, daily prayer, and celebrating Mass together. We strive to live Christian values like kindness, respect, and care for each other and creation in everything we do.
Unplugged Adventure
No screens, no phones, no distractions. Just nonstop fun and real connection in God’s beautiful creation. Campers dive into classic sleepaway adventures and spend their days exploring, playing, and trying new things. Here, they unplug from everyday life to enjoy face-to-face moments in the great outdoors.
The CSC Difference
Waterfront Setting
Just outside DC in Southern Maryland, our private waterfront peninsula gives campers a natural playground with a wide range of activities.
75 Years of Tradition
Founded in 1952, CSC blends decades of Catholic tradition with a warm, welcoming community where generations of campers celebrate faith, friendship, and creation.
Caring Staff
Our trained staff includes many former campers who carry the CSC spirit forward, provide personalized care, and help foster our safe, close‑knit community.
Confidence They Carry Home
Growth is at the heart of the CSC experience. Campers learn to take responsibility, work cooperatively, try new things, and practice everyday self‑management while building useful social skills. They return home with greater independence, clearer communication, healthier habits, and a can‑do confidence that lasts long after summer ends.
