When growing up, most of the children in elementary school with me came from 'traditional' families, that is, they came from two parent homes in which one parent stayed at home and the other parent worked. Now we have children who come from families in which both parents working, in fact this situation seems to be the 'traditional' family these days. In addition, there was strong community support. By contrast, family ties today are far less maintained. Elementary students today lack the community support required to deal with academics, extracurricular activities and social challenges. For this reason, Boys & Girls Clubs are necessary in providing youth with a positive and safe place to go; a way to grow in a safe and caring environment.

With 74 years of experience, Camp Ernest W. Brown—a 168-acre residential summer camp situated on the picturesque Potomac River—provides children ages 7 to 13 an opportunity to take a break from city life to connect with nature and explore the outdoors!

As one of the Washington, D.C. regions oldest and most trusted residential summer camps, Camp Brown offers a fun, safe environment for youth to experience the wonderful outdoors, while building friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

Campers spend a relaxing week by the waterfront enjoying programs and activities facilitated by trained Boys & Girls Clubs counselors and Metropolitan Police Department officers. With a 150-foot fishing pier, children play on Camp Brown’s spacious waterfront grounds, courts, sports fields and experience fun activities such as swimming, fishing, boating, sports and fitness, music, games, arts and crafts and much more!

Residents spend the week in air-conditioned cabins equipped with bunk beds and enjoy three nutritious meals, plus an evening snack, in the modern, fully-equipped Marriott Mess Hall while participating in Camp Brown’s specialized curriculum which covers a variety of areas that nurture and re-enforce self-awareness, self-esteem, character and healthy life choices.
