Look for Rockville’s 2017 Camp Guide, due out Jan. 4, to plan ahead for that long summer break.
This year’s guide is available from City Hall, community centers and other facilities, as well as online as a PDF at www.rockvillemd.gov/recreation.
The more than 60 camps available include the traditional all-day, all-summer break Summer Blast program, which runs from 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. each day and is hosted at four sites throughout the city, as well as specialty camps that explore robotics, the arts, athletics, sports, science, dancing, nature, theater, parkour and many other experiences for kids age 3-16.
Single- and multi-week options are available. Camps are open to residents and nonresidents.
Registration begins Jan. 17. Camps begin June 19 and run past Labor Day to accommodate the extended summer break. Camps are run by well-qualified, trained staff, are conveniently located throughout the city, and are affordable. Register at rockenroll.rockvillemd.gov.
To learn more about camps around the city, drop by the Rockville Recreation and Parks Department’s booth at the Montgomery County Camp and Summer Fun Expo, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 29, at the Hilton Washington DC/Rockville Hotel and Executive Meeting Center, 1750 Rockville Pike.
