We have much to offer and are conveniently located between Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC. Take a stroll, a nap, or read in our relaxing get a away, tucked in the center of a busy suburban area. We are only minutes from 2 centrally located Metro rails. Plan to stay overnight, a week or two! You will love the location to many tourists spots, the scenery, and the hospitality at the Peach Orchard Christian Retreat Center.

In 1930 Spencerville, MD was considered as a good choice for camp meeting, because it was close to both Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD.Albert Sergeant provided the $200.00 needed to purchase the first 6 acres of the Free Methodist Campground. A clause in his will absolved this debt, and in gratitude the MD/VA Conference voted to name the grounds after him.

You will find our historical Cottages nestled around the outskirts of our horseshoe shaped campgrounds, and a Quaker style Tabernacle for Worship  in the center.

The Dining Hall contains the oldest building on our Historic Campground. It was a World War I era portable school house. In 1930 this building, then located on 14th street in northwest Washington, was purchased from the District of Columbia. Roman numerals used in erecting this portable school house can still be seen etched in the Dining Hall floorboards.
