About
Circle D Farm Summer Day Camp offers team sports such as softball, basketball, soccer, kickball, lacrosse, floor hockey, and other games, along with swimming, arts and crafts, and free swims. Campers also take part in horse and tack sessions that include riding in the ring under experienced supervision and grooming the horses, and they can play miniature golf on a six-hole miniature golf course. Each Thursday, the camp provides a cookout lunch with hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, and vegetarian burgers or other dietary menu items upon request.
• Schedule: Camp runs June 22nd–August 7th, 2026, with a daily schedule that includes bringing a labeled brown-bag lunch Monday through Wednesday, a camp-hosted cookout lunch on Thursdays, and special contest themes on Fridays.
• Price: Regular Session Single Camper $395.00 per week; Week of July 4th (no camp July 3rd) $315.00; Family Plan: first child $395.00 per week and each additional child $340.00 per week; Additional Child Week of July 4th $270.00; a one-time, non-refundable $50.00 registration fee per camper; Extended Day Programs $5.00 per hour, per child.
Circle D Farm Summer Day Camp has been making smiles for 47 years, with the summer day camp starting in 1979 on a family-run farm that was purchased by the Dowd family in 1953 and originally operated as a dairy farm. The camp states a mission of offering team sports, fun, and shared experiences, emphasizing the thrill of new achievement, enjoyment of being physically fit, and the excitement of new and lasting friendships, and notes that all of this takes place in what it describes as a safe and secure environment in the countryside. Circle D Farm is regulated and licensed by the Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and reports that it fully meets or exceeds all camp certification requirements.
Staff and counselors are trained in CPR, first aid, and use of AEDs, with background checks completed on all staff by Maryland State Police and the FBI, and two certified lifeguards are on duty at the pool at all times. The camp notes that it employs qualified, carefully screened college-age counselors, many of whom have been past campers or counselors, and that camp directors reside at the camp. Campers visit the pool twice daily, all activities take place on the farm without traveling to other locations, and horseback riding is described by the camp as a “glorified pony ride,” not riding lessons.
Families are told that lunches are kept in a refrigerated walk-in, 2% milk is provided daily at lunch for free, and water is available at water stations all day long, with sodas and snacks available for purchase at the snack bar during lunch and for children in the Extended Day Program in the afternoon. Campers are asked to wear washable play clothes and sturdy shoes that tie, Velcro, or buckle, to bring towels, bathing suits, sunscreen, and labeled water bottles each day, and to send a note if a camper is not to swim on a particular day. The camp prefers that children are not sent with electronics, including cell phones, and provides a lost and found basket for campers.
One parent testimonial reports that their daughters “have been loving camp,” that this is their fourth year, and that they “talk about camp all year long.”
