Camp Bennett Retreat and Conference Center

The idyllic Camp Bennett is a beautiful 220-acre retreat and conference center in upper Montgomery County, Maryland. The Camp dates back to 1934, when the Central Union Mission Women's Guild funded the purchase of a local farm that would serve as a summer camp for needy children.

Today, Camp Bennett is home to the Mission's residential summer camp program for financially underprivileged children, and is frequently used by churches and private organizations at other times. Its scenic setting is a perfect backdrop for seminars, fellowship activities, picnics, and corporate events.
