Learning to live together in a Christian way...
As a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Easton, Camp Wright provides Day and Resident camp programs for over 1,475 campers each summer. Our programs include a variety of experiences and activities to encourage campers' social, physical, mental and spiritual growth. We pride ourselves on fostering strong connections for all participants in our programs. Campers, staff, and others are encouraged to connect deeply with God, with others, with themselves and the beautiful natural world around them.
Our beautiful 140 acre facility on Kent Island remains a peaceful place apart from a busy world all while being convenient to Baltimore, Washington, DC, Easton, Salisbury and surrounding areas. Our rustic nature is important to our program, no cell phones, no tablets, limited electricity and tons of Chesapeake Bay Breezes.
Camp activities include boating, sports & games (think gaga, nine square, capture the flag, counselor hunt and more!), swimming, creative arts, nature exploration, environmental activities, and whatever our amazing staff can dream up! Activities in small and large groups, meal times in cabin groups, and cabin time all are opportunities for friendship, learning, and fun.
Our programs are designed to encourage campers to live and to play in an open community where they can explore life on the Chesapeake Bay, discover new aspects of their faith and learn more about themselves and one another. Individuals of all faiths are welcome and encouraged to join us at Camp Wright. Please contact us if you would like more information.
