OUR CHRISTIAN VALUES

Antietam Recreation is dedicated to assisting parents as they strive to develop character and maintain a standard of excellence in the lives of their children. Although Antietam Recreation is not associated with any denomination, church or religious organization, we do promote Christian values based on the Bible. Each morning begins with Morning worship which includes scripture verses, character qualities, prayer, Bible stories, and singing. These things are also incorporated throughout the day.

 IMPORTANT POLICIES

  • Money Back Guarantee | You may be wondering what if I sign up my child for camp this summer and they don't like it? We stand behind our program and with 40+ years of experience we believe your child is going to have an awesome summer! However if for some reason your child doesn't enjoy camp we offer a money back guarantee.

  • Medication | Although we have a health supervisor who oversees our medical program (Kristi Rotz, RN), according to Maryland Health Department regulations we are unable to administer medications at our facility or provide specialized care. For any minor injuries we will use non-medicated methods. Parents will be notified of more serious illnesses or injuries. Emergency medications may be kept in the office accompanied by a signed form.

  • Discipline | Due to the variety of activities and open areas, it is extremely essential that our campers are obedient and can follow directions, for their own safety. A discipline system is enforced and is available for review in the office. Antietam Recreation reserves the right to ask any camper to leave who is not furthering the best interest of the other children.

 

STAY CONNECTED

Weekly letters are emailed to each family and are provided Monday morning of each week at drop-off and give specific details on the activities scheduled, including field trips and any camper needs. If you'd like to see photos of the fun that's happening at camp via Instagram, make sure you receive a weekly letter to learn how you can receive access. 

 

FIND YOUR FRIENDS

  • Friends | Campers who have friends (of similar age) attending camp may be grouped with them by request. (Junior and youth campers cannot be grouped together. For example a junior camper, age 5, cannot be grouped with a youth camper, age 9.) Only one friend will be guaranteed. The office must receive friend requests by 5:00 PM Thursday of the previous week. If the difference in age between the friends or siblings is more than two years, please call our office to discuss the situation.

LUNCHES & PURCHASES

Campers bring their own lunch from home. Food items, snacks, tee shirts, etc. may be purchased at the store during free time and lunch. A list of store items is available upon request.
