YMCA Camp Letts is an idyllic multi-purpose rental venue set on the banks of the Rhode River just one mile from the Chesapeake Bay and 30 miles outside of Washington DC. Our facilities are available for rental from September – May for group reservations of all shapes and sizes.
A signed contract and 10% non-refundable deposit are required to fully confirm all reservations. Camp Letts will hold lodges and meeting spaces for no more than 14 days without a signed contract and deposit. Activities are subject to availability and are booked on a first-come-first-serve basis. Any special requests must be in writing and come from the group leader. Please note that the contract specifies lodging, meals, and any add-on activities.
Payment in full is due one week prior to your visit. Reservations are not guaranteed without a signed contract AND deposit. The deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE.
Camp Letts charges per person for all overnight and daily guests. The guaranteed minimum guest count is the minimum number of guests for which camp will prepare and for which the group is required to pay. Guaranteed minimum guest counts are due 30 days prior to your visit. Any changes in the guaranteed minimum must be made in writing.
Changes in the guaranteed minimum guest count can be made up to 4 weeks prior to a group’s arrival. After that date, the group is required to pay for no fewer guests than the guaranteed minimum. The group’s final headcount (if exceeding the guaranteed minimum #) is due 2 weeks prior to the event.
Every group, large and small, must provide a Certificate of Insurance naming YMCA Camp Letts as an additionally insured, for the amount of $1,000,000 per incident. This must be provided at least two weeks before your group’s arrival to camp.
If alcohol is being served, the group must obtain and provide a liquor license from Anne Arundel County at: aacounty.org/liquorboard
After the contract has been signed by both parties, the group is responsible for full payment for cancellations occurring within 8 weeks prior to reservation arrival date. All notifications of cancellations are required in writing. Once on site, if the group chooses to leave YMCA Camp Letts prior to the agreed upon departure time and date, no refund will be given and the payment of the full contract and all activity fees are due.
Camp Letts has 4 meeting spaces on site, small and large. One meeting space is included with any overnight-with-meals reservation for 50 guests or more. Groups smaller than 50 guests must rent a meeting space. See “Retreat Group Space Rental” in this brochure for more information.
