Recreation Department and Montgomery Parks Open Summer Camp Registration
Registration for Montgomery County Recreation (MCR) and Montgomery Parks summer camps opened Monday. During a typical non-pandemic year, the Recreation Department holds one or two summer camp fairs in January so parents and youth may learn about the camps. This year, everything will be a bit different due to the pandemic.
The county summer programs are located throughout the county for youth ages 3 to 16. The camps offered by the recreation department are detailed in the Summer Camps 2021 Guide available online. Montgomery Parks summer camps are detailed in the 2021 Summer Camps guide, also available online. Customers can search summer camps by activity, date, age, location and cost. Registration is also available by mail, online or limited in-person appointments. For more information about registration, visit the website or call 240-777-6840.
