Finding Acceptance in a
Camping Environment

Camp FACE was founded in 1993 to offer youth with craniofacial differences the opportunity to meet one another, build friendships, and share their experiences. Many Camp FACE campers have a cleft lip and/or cleft palate, and several campers have other facial differences like Crouzon syndrome or tumors.
Camp FACE offers the following types of activities each year for our campers:
- Nature walks
- Self esteem building
- Sports
- Visits from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources
- Hair and make up for girls
- Games
- Arts and crafts
- A dance!
Camp FACE offers bus transportation to and from the campsite from Baltimore City. Although most campers who attend Camp FACE are from the greater Baltimore/Washington D.C. area, campers from all over the United States have attended and are welcome as long as they can get to and from camp. Most campers come back year after year and several of our counselors were former campers! The Camp FACE family grows each and every year!
