Since 1992, Summer at Sandy Spring has been committed to providing a unique and enriching summer program, filled with fun challenges and memorable experiences. Our program promotes teamwork, friendship, and, most importantly, fun in a safe environment.

Over the years we’ve grown quite a bit, and we continue to innovate and improve our experiences for campers and camp families each year. From the Adventure Park to our man-made pond, known on campus as the Wildebeest Watering Hole, and locally-sourced chef-prepared food, Summer at Sandy Spring is continuously working to provide campers with programming, food, and activities that are healthy for the mind, body and spirit.

For over 25 years, our 140-acre campus has been home to summer memories and fun for campers throughout the Washington DC area, and we hope you and your family will join us for many more!

Summer at Sandy Spring takes place on the 140-acre wooded campus of Sandy Spring Friends School. Founded in 1961, Sandy Spring Friends School (SSFS) is a progressive, coeducational, college preparatory Quaker school, serving students from Preschool (ages 3 and 4) through 12th grade, with optional five- and seven-day boarding programs in the Upper School. SSFS offers strong academics that include Advanced Placement courses in the Upper School, arts, athletic programs and a diverse and international school community.
