The Western Maryland 4-H Education Center is owned and operated by the University of Maryland Cooperative Extension. Located in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of Garrett County, the center offers seasonal activities and accommodations for groups of all kinds. Readily accessible to the metropolitan areas of Washington, Baltimore and Pittsburgh, the centers offers a wooded sitting in which to enjoy the natural beauty and cool mountain air of Maryland's westernmost county. The center's extensive recreational facilities include activities for all ages and interests. The camp's picturesque 25-acre lake gives swimmers, canoeists, and fishermen the chance to make use of the facilities as well. Two campfire circles round out the camp's many opportunities for fun and education.
