Frederick County Fire Department officials said there were camp sessions going on Wednesday but the dining hall was not in use at the time of the fire. The summer camp is for young boys and teens and is close to the Catoctin Mountain Park

Images from SkyFOX on Wednesday showed smoke visible from miles away. Over 100 firefighters could be seen using ladder trucks and hoses while trying to keep the flames under control.

It took crews about three hours to bring the flames under control, and they remained on the scene throughout Wednesday and Thursday to check for hotspots.

Investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire, but say they have ruled out any intentional or suspicious factors.
