Welcome to the Claggett Center
Located in the rolling hills of Frederick County, Maryland, the Claggett Center is a faith-based retreat center offering hotel-style lodging, meeting spaces, and transformational experiences for individuals and groups. Just a short drive from Washington, DC and Baltimore, Claggett provides a peaceful, all-inclusive retreat center setting for church retreats, nonprofit conferences, corporate gatherings, and spiritual renewal.
Whether you’re seeking a retreat venue, a barn event space with lodging, or a retreat center with private rooms and outdoor trails, Claggett welcomes you into a community built on hospitality, beloved community, and connection. Our 268-acre campus includes an outdoor labyrinth, wooded trails, river access for kayaking and fishing, and a beautifully restored barn—perfect for hosting everything from weddings and reunions to youth retreats and intergenerational programs.
As a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland, Claggett Center is committed to creating sacred space for transformation through accessible, nature-based retreats and Christian summer camp programs. Whether you’re planning a personal retreat, group getaway, or large-scale event, Claggett is a place to rest, reconnect, and be renewed.
A place where inspiration abounds.
As you arrive, you immediately sense that the Center is unique — situated on 268 acres with a working farm and fantastic views of Sugarloaf Mountain and the Monocacy River Valley.
The Center is nestled in the rolling hills of Frederick County, yet only an hour’s drive from three international airports.
Take the time to hike one of our trails. Enjoy a meal on one of our beautiful patios. Find the perfect spot for a small group discussion or relax in one of our porch rockers and watch a striking sunrise.
