Life’s Complicated. But With the Right Tools, He’ll Figure It Out
Your love for your son is something you and your ex will always have in common. It’s not too late to put him on a new path. Is camp the right approach for your son?
There are no easy answers when your son is exploding at home, failing in school, or in trouble with the police.
But when you’re navigating custody issues, multiple households, and different expectations, finding answers can feel next to impossible.
No parent wants their mistakes to ruin their son’s future. The good news is, children and youth are amazingly resilient when they have the right emotional tools.
That’s what camp is for. Find out if it could help your son.

Our Beliefs and Philosophy
The leadership and staff at Allegany Boys Camp are Christians, and camp is a Christian environment. We do our best to live by the Bible and the teachings of Jesus.
Your child is unique and priceless, created in God’s image to thrive and succeed. So one of the best ways to honor God is to honor and support the children He loves.
Instead of relying on harsh punishments to force boys to change, we start with positive expectations. A boy is far more likely to make lasting changes when we appeal to his best instincts.
Camp Doesn’t Mean Falling Behind on School
Allegany Boys Camp is a religiously-affiliated private school registered with the State of Maryland. Your high-school-age child will get an accredited transcript from his time at camp.
A typical camper has struggled in school because of emotional and behavior problems. The camp program focuses on resolving these issues first, so a boy can succeed in school when he gets back to the “real world.” But camp activities also support all the major academic areas boys need to stay on track.
