Health & Safety
Camper safety and wellbeing are our highest priorities at Camp St. Charles. Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where every child is free to experience new adventures, build lasting friendships, and grow in their faith.
To ensure the highest standards of care, we are proudly accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA). This means we consistently meet or exceed over 250 national standards for health, safety, and risk management. We also maintain a current youth camp license from the State of Maryland.
