All activities are supervised by mature, well-trained, carefully-screened and certified counselors, with a 6:1 child to staff ratio for Nature Navigators and an 8:1 ratio for Wilderness Explorers, Pathfinders, and Trailblazers. The Camp Director is Connor Haughey. Butler Camp states that it provides children the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and supportive community, with highly trained, nurturing staff and an intimate community where everyone knows their name and cheers them on. The program describes itself as offering outdoor adventures in Darnestown, Maryland, and offering the best summer day camp programs and adventures in Montgomery County, Maryland, with limited spots available.
The camp includes screen-free outdoor time and many fun outdoor nature activities for children 4½ to 16. Program materials state that campers develop wilderness skills and a respect for nature, learn about teamwork, leadership and how to take care of themselves and the environment, and explore hiking trails, learn wilderness skills and practice environmental stewardship. The program also states that exploring nature has a positive impact on a child’s intellectual, emotional, social and physical development.
Parent feedback from 2025 includes comments that they love the screen-free outdoor time and that campers are gently pushed out of their comfort zones. Parents also describe Butler Camp as a place where their kids are excited to go, where they can be outdoors, swim every day, and do “summer” activities. One 2025 camp parent calls it a classic camp experience with outdoor adventures like canoeing, hiking, a zip line, fun crafts, and pool time, and notes that their two daughters love Butler Camp.
