For Immediate Release: Tuesday, December 12, 2023

Montgomery County Recreation is hosting two free summer camp fairs in January to help families plan for their children’s summer activities. The first will take place on Sunday, Jan. 7 at Nancy H. Dacek North Potomac Community Recreation Center, located at 13850 Travilah Road in Rockville. East County Community Recreation Center, located at 3310 Gateshead Manor Way in Silver Spring, will host a fair on Sunday, Jan. 14. Both fairs will take place from 1 – 4 p.m.

Montgomery County Recreation provides hundreds of healthy summer camp programs at locations throughout the County. Parents are encouraged to plan early for the summer months as many camps fill up quickly.

“Last year we had hundreds of families from across the County attend our Summer Camp Fairs to learn all about what Recreation has to offer,” said Montgomery County Recreation Director Robin Riley. “We encourage families to plan ahead and take advantage of our many offerings that focus on safety, convenience, inclusivity, affordability and most importantly fun! With a variety of special interest camps there is something for everyone.”

Experience camp at the fairs with games and activities that you would see at summer camp! Make sure to stop by to check out the arts, crafts, games, snacks and more. At the fairs, families can also meet with recreation staff members and talk with instructors to ask questions and learn more about the offerings. You will also be able to register for Rec Assist, the department’s financial aid program, on site. For 2024 the funding for Rec Assist has increased to $400 per eligible applicant.

Registration for summer camp programs will begin on Tuesday, Jan. 16. You will be able to view camps online, as well as a digital and build your own guide beginning Friday, Jan. 5.
