marwood youth Camp information

Marwood is designed to be a 4-year experience for youth aged 12-15 (rising 7th graders - rising 10th graders) and the majority of campers choose to attend for all four of the summers they are eligible. 


Therefore, a potential camper’s best chance to “get in” is the summer before 7th grade.  This year we also have spots for rising 8th or 9th graders!
