UNCOMMON FUN FOR GROWNUPS AND KIDS

Camp Common Ground is our inter-generational family camp in its 16th year. We welcome people of all ages, ethnicities, lifestyles, abilities and economic back-grounds.

This week long family program focuses on creative expression, fun, great food and community and affords campers the opportunity to immerse themselves more deeply in one particular activity or to explore the many options available in one week. The extra time spent lingering over meals, on the wrap-around porch or on the hill watching kids run allows for interesting conversations. New and old friendships are cemented at Camp Common Ground.

Camp is an easy way to vacation with your extended family and friends. Grandparents to toddlers will have the time of their life.

“We never get to see our friends anymore so we arranged to spend a week together at camp. No dishes, no stress, just fun – it was great.” ~ Vanessa – Forest Hills, NY

Community Service is a big part of our camp experience. Shared work helps campers get to know one another better and helps keep the cost of camp down.

Whoever is family by you is family by us.

“I’ve told my friends that waking up to each day’s offerings at CCG was like being a kid in a candy store.” ~ Kathy – Washington, D.C.

“My daughter, Annie, blossomed in our week at camp in ways that are still impacting her. Every now and then she will do something new and then say to me, ‘I could never have done that if I hadn’t gone to CCG!’” ~ Sara – St. Michael’s, MD

“This was the best week of my life!” ~ Teddy – Age 8
