EARLY REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER CAMPS

EARLY REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER CAMPS BEGINS FOR DISTRICT RESIDENTS

On January 21, 2009, the DC Department Parks and Recreation (DPR) began an early registration period for District residents to participate in the 2009 Summer Camps. Summer camp often provides a safe, structured environment where children can go during the summertime, a when most schools are out of session.
From January 21-31, 2009, District residents may register for any of the five, two-week sessions that will run from June 15 - August 21, 2009, Monday to Friday, 9 am - 5 pm. DPR will also offer eight one-week camping sessions at Camp Riverview, DPR’s co-ed residential (overnight) camping facility located in Scotland, Maryland, along the Potomac River near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. Early registration must be done in person at a DPR center and proof of District residency is required.
Camping fees are $100 per session for District residents for most camps. DPR offers a scholarship rate for District residents to ensure that summer camps are available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Children of eligible families attend camps at a flat rate of $25 per child, per camp session. To determine eligibility or to apply, families must complete a 2009 Summer Camp Scholarship Rate Application.
