ABOUT CAMP

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 with disabilities; 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. Through these programs, other special events, and community partnerships, roughly 5000 people visit the Melwood Recreation Center each year.

The Melwood Recreation Center is operated by Melwood, an agency based in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Since 1963, Melwood has enabled people with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives through employment, community participation, and recreation. Currently, more than 2000 people with disabilities in the Washington, DC area rely on Melwood services. Through Melwood’s Contract Services, over 600 people with disabilities work at over 50 work sites in the National Capital area. Melwood’s Community Services supports children, youth, and adults with disabilities to live, work, and play where and how they choose. Services such as supported employment, day services, supported living, and recreation enable individuals with disabilities to maximize their independence and inclusion within the community.

ACTIVITIES

Camp Accomplish

Camp Accomplish is a fully inclusive program for youth and teens aged 5-18. Campers enjoy a variety of different activities including swimming, climbing wall and ropes courses, archery, creative arts, sports, canoeing, horseback riding, campfires, talent shows, and much more. Camp Accomplish offers options for day and overnight camp in addition to a Teen Program. Activities and schedules are designed in a way that all campers get to spend extra time doing what is most interesting and exciting to them. Coupled with a qualified and person-centered group of staff members, a summer at Camp Accomplish will surely be nonstop fun in the sun!

Our Day Camp program runs from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. Day campers aged 5-12 enjoy all the same activities as our overnight program, but they return home each evening to share the day’s adventures with family and rest up for the next fun-filled day! Breakfast, lunch and a snack are part of this program. 

Campers enjoy a wide variety of daily activities from Sunday afternoon through Friday afternoon, including swimming, horseback riding, creative arts, the climbing wall, sports and much more. Each camper will have the chance to try some of everything, and for campers who know exactly what they like, we offer the opportunity to choose and focus on specific programs! Campers share comfortable, air conditioned cabins and our small camper groups are staffed based on each camper’s individual abilities. Overnight camp is a great place for campers aged 8-12 to gain independence, make lasting friendships, and explore new opportunities!
