| TOWSON – Baltimore County’s popular summer camps and drop-in programs offered by the Department of Recreation and Parks will open for registration on Wednesday, January 15 at 10 a.m.
The lineup of unique and enriching experiences for children ages 4 to 17 includes nearly two dozen sites countywide and themes including nature, arts, and sports. Programs cost as little as $100 per week.
The full catalog of camps and programs, as well as registration, is available at baltimorecountymd.gov/summercamp.
Registration takes place entirely online through the Department’s CivicRec portal. As many camps and summer programs fill quickly, it is recommended that those without an existing CivicRec account should create one in advance to speed registration. Accounts should be created in the name of a parent or guardian, and children added as family members to the adult’s account. Instructions and tutorials are available at baltimorecountymd.gov/civicrec.

- Animals, farming, and gardening at the Baltimore County Ag Center and Farm Park in Cockeysville
