2023 Summer Camps Directory

With each new milestone that our children reach comes the need for information to guide them (and us) through this stage. This point is particularly true when our children are old enough to attend summer camp. How do we know which camp is right for them? In an education-centered community like ours, parents can find many options. Use our summer camp listings presented here to learn more about the camps, what they offer and the ages they serve. Visit washingtonFAMILY.com for even more listings to help you in your search. Be sure to check our website and in the magazine in upcoming months for more stories about camps for your children. Good luck! Here’s to a great summer.
