College Park, MD - Youth-friendly is one of the many ways to describe the University of Maryland, College Park. With more than 8,000 beds on campus, plus two dining halls and an iron-clad, two-layer security program, planners of youth and sports groups can rest easy bringing their young clients to this sprawling 1,800-acre suburban venue. Featuring 1,200 acres of park-like grounds on a campus just nine short miles from Washington, D.C., this university truly has it all when it comes to hosting youth retreats and camps. Each summer, athletic camps that are run by Maryland’s Big Ten Conference coaches combine with college immersion, special studies, and STEAM programs to stimulate young minds. The Ropes Challenge Course, Rock Climbing Wall, homemade ice cream, and TerpZone facility are also must-do add-ons for any youth program. 16
