My children had a great night! My oldest knew exactly where to go when he saw Pilot the Eagle sitting outside the event and ran right in. They had fun and begged to go back when we left. It was so nice to know they were not far away and well taken care of during our event.

Military Retreat Child Watch in Camp Springs, MD
Camp Springs is approximately 10 minutes from our Clinton, MD location via Branch Avenue (MD-5) north.
Camp Springs and the JBA installation community include a high concentration of dual-military couples, single parents, and military spouses who are not optional participants in Family Readiness events -- they are the point of the program. When JBA schedules marriage retreats, single-parent support weekends, or family readiness gatherings, households with children need an on-site child watch solution that brings Intervention Specialists and Inclusion Staff so no child is turned away regardless of additional needs. SOCW is built for exactly that population.
Military retreats often run full days with back-to-back programming that families shouldn't have to skip around. SOCWS provides continuous on-site child watch for the full event block, with age-appropriate activities that hold children's attention through long sessions. Our licensed providers manage logistics, safety, and programming from setup to teardown — so participating families can be focused and present without worrying about what's happening in the care room.
About Camp Springs
Camp Springs sits right on the perimeter of Joint Base Andrews, connected to our Clinton base by about ten minutes on Branch Avenue (MD-5) heading north. That proximity matters because JBA generates some of the highest-profile military events in the entire National Capital Region: Air Force Balls, Presidential Airlift Group functions, unit holiday parties, Family Readiness events, and spouse appreciation days that draw hundreds of attendees. The Auth Village corridor and neighborhoods lining Allentown Road are home to dense clusters of active-duty families whose commanders are mandated to run family readiness programming.
