Recreation Programs


Anchored by our philosophy of inclusion, the Melwood Recreation Center plays host to year-long activities designed for people of all abilities.

Melwood Recreation Center

A key component to our mission’s fulfillment is the support we provide to children, youth, and adults of all abilities through enriching recreational activities.

The Melwood Recreation Center is a beautiful 108-acre facility located on the Nanjemoy Peninsula in rural Charles County, Maryland. With a diverse offering of lodge-style cabins, challenge courses, almost 10 miles of hiking trails, aquatic and equestrian facilities, and a variety of meeting spaces all set in a serene natural environment. It is a versatile location that can accommodate a wide range of events. The Melwood Recreation Center is located approximately one hour south of Washington, DC, and is a short, 12-mile drive west of La Plata, Maryland.
