Welcome to Baltimore Yearly Meeting!
Baltimore Yearly Meeting builds and nurtures a strong and vibrant Quaker community across the Mid-Atlantic. We seek to build community, grow in the life of the spirit, discern right action, and bear witness in the world. BYM includes Quaker meetings in parts of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. The BYM Office, located in Sandy Spring, MD, provides technical support to local Quaker Meetings and opportunities for Quakers in our region to work, play, serve, learn, and grow spiritually together as Friends.
BYM Quaker Camps are vibrant, diverse, and youth-centered communities that welcome families with open arms. Join BYM Quaker Camps community for a joyful weekend of connection, reflection, and family fun in nature!
This year, our Family Camp will be held at Opequon Quaker Camp at Rolling Ridge Conversancy! Designed for families of all shapes and sizes, this retreat offers a mix of fun outdoor activities, shared meals, and meaningful connection. Enjoy hiking, art-making, fire circle and songs, work projects and family fun activities; all in a spirit of simplicity, equality, and togetherness.
At Family Camp, the Spirit leads — but diaper changes and snack times are still up to you! Parents are responsible for their children at Family Camp.
Whether you're reconnecting with camp or discovering it for the first time, this is a chance to slow down, be present, and grow closer with loved ones and new friends.
