Montgomery County Recreation Cancels Modified Summer Camps

For Immediate Release: Friday, July 17, 2020

Montgomery County Recreation will not be providing late-summer modified camps.

Due to the critical need of health care providers in the community for other vital services, Montgomery County Recreation was unable to secure dedicated nursing providers required for the department to offer summer camps to the public.

“Montgomery County Recreation has worked tirelessly to prepare, plan and deliver a modified summer camp program,” said Montgomery County Recreation Director Robin Riley. “We regret that we were unable to meet the requirements to open our programs. However, as MoCo Rec staff does so well, we are quickly transitioning, and we are looking into providing alternative programs and activities to the Montgomery County community in the near future.”

Montgomery County Recreation continues to offer virtual summer programs and activities through Rec Room. For more information on Rec Room, visit www.mocorec.com/recroom. Montgomery County Recreation outdoor pools and indoor aquatic centers are also open. More information on hours of operation, swim times and reservations can be found here.
