Summer Camp Descriptions, 2010

Adventure Camp
City Kids Campers take the Metro to experience all that DC has to offer. Traveling by public transportation, campers will explore little known secrets about Georgetown, eat some chili at Ben’s Chili Bowl, find their inner spy at the Spy Museum or become a news reporter at the Newseum. Each day is truly a new adventure!

Trailblazers Each day campers will visit a different local destination using the Wonders bus. We will explore the great outdoors at regional parks, Lurray Caverns and a camp out under the stars. Visits to Baltimore to see what our neighbor has to offer, including the Aquarium, Port Discovery, Camden Yards or the Maryland Science Museum.

Mini Camp is for campers who just finished Pre-K and Kindergarten. We create the best camp experience every day by incorporating engaging, hands-on activities into our weekly themes. This camp is a part of our Explorers camp so the minicampers have the benefit of some camp spirit activities while experiencing the camp day with their peers.
