One parent from the Greater Baltimore region described the camp as the best summer camp for their child Mika and shared that their children asked to always attend UMBC Camp and return the next year. Another parent from the Greater Baltimore region noted that the indoor facilities gave them one less thing to worry about regarding heat and sun exposure and said they were glad to have found the camp and recommended it to others. A third parent from the Greater Baltimore region, whose child attended for one week, reported that their son loved the camp, especially swimming twice a day, and said that everyone at the camp was very nice, organized, and helped them feel at ease leaving their young son there.
