Get Ready for Camp with Montgomery County Recreation this January at Summer Camp Fairs

For Immediate Release: Wednesday, December 18, 2024

                                             

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. 5 at Germantown Community Recreation Center, located at 18905 Kingsview Road in Germantown. East County Community Recreation Center, located at 3310 Gateshead Manor Way in Silver Spring, will host a fair on Saturday, Jan. 11. Both events will take place from 1 – 4 p.m. 

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

“Summer camp is an integral part in the development of our youth and an experience that can create lifelong memories and friendships,” said Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich. “I encourage families to explore the many offerings available with our Recreation Department, and to sign up early.” 

Experience camp at the fairs with games and activities that you would see at summer camp. You’ll be able to check out 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. Make sure to bring your documentation, and once the team processes your application the funds will become available immediately.   

Registration for summer camp programs will begin on Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 6:30 a.m. for County residents. Registration will be available at ActiveMONTGOMERY.org and in person. You will be able to view camps online Friday, Dec. 20 and view the digital GUIDE online beginning Friday, Jan. 3.
