SUMMER CAMP GUIDE 2018

A PUBLICATION OF

FEBRUARY 2018 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE 3 How to choose a summer camp PAGE 4 Specialty versus traditional camps PAGES 5-12 Summer Camp directory About our Camp Guide Our list of summer camps was updated for 2018 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 particular, 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 2018, 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 Editor Thomas Baden Jr. at 443-524-8150 or [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.

But at camp, it is very much focused around education but especially around social and emotional skills. Kids are learning how to be part of a group, learning how to make new friends, have disagreements, try new things, take positive risks. They actually learn to fail and learn from failure in a very safe, fun way and then try again to develop resilience.” But with hundreds of camps in the region, how do parents pick the best DEPOSITPHOTOS camp for their children?
