Since 1942, Camp Puh’tok has provided young people and their families with fresh air, wonderful programs, and FUN! Campers ages 5-16 take part in summer camp activities that emphasize leadership, teamwork, appreciation of nature, and re-discovering our American heritage. In addition to our day and overnight summer camps we offer year round team-building and outdoor education day trips, weekday ret

reats, camp rentals and even full camp wedding packages. LOCATION

Camp Puh’tok is set in picturesque Northern Baltimore County, Maryland. Located on over 60 acres of pristine woodlands and bordered by the scenic Gunpowder Falls River and State Park, campers and guests enjoy exploring all that our natural environment has to offer. HISTORY
Camp Puh'tok, a non-profit summer camp, was founded by Brigadier Douglas G. In the early years, young men from the Highlandtown and Middle River Boys Clubs made up our first campers and helped build the first camp facilities. In the 1950’s and 60’s, Chief Sunrise (Rubin Jacobs), a great grandson of the Sioux chief Sitting Bull, mentored campers and helped craft the camp’s Native American programs. Once a boys-only camp, girls were invited to attend Camp Puh'tok in the mid 1980's. In 2002, under a public-private partnership, Puh’tok received permanent land protection under the Gunpowder Falls Conservancy. This action will help ensure that future campers enjoy the same natural resources as present campers do, for generations to come. In 2007, Puh'tok came under private ownership where it continues to live out it's original mission "to serve children from all socio-economic backgrounds with meaningful hands-on outdoor learning activities that foster an appreciation for nature, our history, and one another."

In honor of National Wildlife Day, we’re highlighting one of our frequent visitors at Puh’tok—the white-tailed deer! 🦌

Fun fact: A fawn’s spotted coat helps it blend in with the forest floor and stay hidden from predators like coyotes, bobcats, and bears.

We’re lucky to see plenty of wildlife throughout Puh’tok’s grounds!

Saturday night, the Manor Conservancy brought music to the land they work so hard to preserve, featuring Monkton Music Festival favorites, The Mayo Family Band.

Amazing music, a beautiful evening, and an even more beautiful setting - surrounded by open fields, preserved land, and good people.

It was the kind of summer night you wish you could bottle up and keep.

Thank you, The Manor Conservancy, for another memorable evening celebrating music, community, and the land we’re fortunate to share.
