pages 7-16 Summer Camp directory About our Camp Guide Our list of summer camps was updated for 2016 from the camps themselves or with information from their websites. We limited ourselves to camps in Maryland and a select few in nearby states. Several organizations offer a variety of camps for a range of age groups. In par- ticular, the Y of Central Maryland and 4-H conduct dozens of camps statewide. You may prefer to call those organizations directly. Some camps had not yet set costs for 2016, and costs are subject to change. Please contact camps directly to verify all information. Don’t be afraid to ask about discounts for early enrollment or other circumstances. A number of camps also offer early arrivals, late pickups and transportation. Those may not be listed, so be sure to ask. It is important to us to keep the information in this annual guide as accurate as possible. Please bring any discrepancies to the attention of the special products editor at 443-524-8150 or email [email protected]. And let us know if you’re aware of a really great Maryland camp we’ve missed. We’ll make every effort to include it next year.

Discover the wonders of nature at local camps

By Gina Gallucci-White Special to The Daily Record

The game “Minecraft” makes it fun to build all those houses, and “Angry Birds” makes breaking things enjoyable, but summer is a time to step away from technology and put down the smartphone and tablet. Instead of watching animals and birds in video games, why not see the real ones by participating in several nature camps in the area? The Irvine Nature Center in Owings Mills has more than 40 sessions planned beginning June 13 and running until August 26. Buds, a popular session for 2- to 3-year-olds and their parents, gives kids the chance to learn about counting, colors and exploration all through the lens of nature. For children age 7 to 9 who dream about becoming a veterinarian or zoo keeper, the animal caretakers session is a perfect fi t. “(Participants) help us take care of our animals all that week and they learn a lot about maintenance for animals, enrichment for animals and keeping them active,” said Beth Lacey Gill, the center’s director of marketing. “The kids really like that one because they get to take care of an opossum all week.” Other animals the kids look after include a hedgehog, corn snake, frogs, turtles, and up-close interaction with owls on site. With 220 acres to explore, campers will get to see forests, meadows and wetlands. “Kids, now, when they are in school, they get limited time for recess,” Gill said. “They are super engaged in their technology. They don’t get a lot of time to explore outdoors the way that you and I did as a kid so nature camp really gives them the chance to have the summer that we all had as kids where they get to spend that time outdoors.” For those who want to test their limits in nature, the nonprofi t Genesee Valley Outdoor Learning Center may be a good fi t. “The core of Genesee Valley is the team-building challenge SUMMER CAMP GUIDE 2016 [5]
