Spy Camp
What’s the password? "The raccoon sings at sunrise!"
Join us at Spy Camp this Summer, which will be held from June 23-27, 2025, on the grounds of Temple Isaiah! We'll decipher coded messages and find clues as we enjoy all the camp favorites including crafts, STEM, games, dance, songs, archery (3rd grade and up), and much more! Hope to see you there!

CAMP WISH LIST
GSHCDC has provided a place for kids to grow for more than 40 years. As a 100% volunteer-run camp, we rely on registration fees and the invaluable commitment of time from our adult and youth staff in order to run. We made it through Covid closures via "virtual camp". Then, after the sale of Camp Ilchester, we were fortunate to build a relationship with Temple Isaiah, which has allowed our program to survive.
As we look ahead--with a commitment to continue offering an affordable, outdoor growth experience for campers--we are grateful for your continued support. To maintain adequate equipment and supplies, we need to restock and get new items at times.
Please consider supporting this effort by purchasing something from our Amazon Wish List. The following flyer is also available as a printable PDF file.
CAMP LOCATION
Camp Ilchester was sold to Howard County in Fall 2022, and the county began a renovation project that is still in process.
But we heard it loud and clear from our campers, families, and volunteers alike -- GSHCDC is special. We love camp!
So we searched for a new place to call home. And we found it, thanks to the kindness of Temple Isaiah in Fulton. In their beautiful outdoor space, we held one week of camp in June 2023 and June 2024. We will return there in June 2025!
