Fun, friendship, adventure, and discovery await children of all ages! 

Check out our Summer 2025 lineup! Online registration opens on December 16, 2024. 

McDonogh has been offering quality summer camps for children ages 4 to 17 for over 80 years. The camps are conducted on the School's impressive 800–acre campus, complete with extensive outdoor athletic fields, three playgrounds, two fishing ponds, 18 tennis courts, and a new state-of-the-art rock climbing tower in addition to our high and low ropes course. Indoor facilities include an Olympic-size swimming pool, as well as a 54,000-square-foot field house with seven basketball courts and a wrestling room. Campers also benefit from McDonogh’s fine arts center with a 588-seat theatre, multiple computer labs, art rooms, and dormitory space that can accommodate over 100 campers. The Edward St. John Student Center features two dining halls, as well as a lecture hall with a stage, fine arts and dance facilities, the infirmary, offices, and meeting rooms.

Happy Campers!
