 Registration for 2023 summer camps is underway at activemontgomery.org. Montgomery County Recreation camps offer a broad range of summer programs located throughout the County. Campers will spend most their time outdoors with an emphasis on safety and fun! You can build your own guide or view the digital guide here.  Mark your calendar! Registration for spring programs for County residents will begin Monday, Feb. 13 at 6:30 a.m. You can explore programs online now.
Registration for Bone Builders, Day Trippers and Senior Outdoor Adventures in Recreation (SOAR) will begin at 9 a.m. Non-County residents will be able to register beginning Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 6:30 a.m.
Spring programs and activities are tailored to a variety of interests, skill levels and ages. Offerings include aquatics, fitness, sports, visual and performing arts, therapeutic recreation, adult 55+ programming and more. There are hundreds of programs available that promote an active, healthier lifestyle.
Applications are currently being accepted for Recreation's financial assistance program, Rec Assist, which provides eligible County residents with $200 per eligible family member to use toward Recreation programs and activities.
While online registration is encouraged, registration will also be available by mail, drop-off or in person. On Feb. 13, in person registration will be available at 6:30 a.m. at four of the County’s aquatic centers (Germantown, Kennedy Shriver, Martin Luther King Jr., Olney) and at the administrative offices in Wheaton.
For more information about registration, visit the website or call the customer service team at 240-777-6840.
