2013 Camp Guide
A list of just some of the camps in or near Maryland
What if you could spend the summer perfecting your tennis serve, sailing the Chesapeake Bay, learning to ride horseback, or polishing your pitch under the tutelage of a Baltimore Orioles star?
It’s all possible—that’s the good news.
The bad news is that all this great stuff isn’t for you—it’s for your kids.
In fact, children of all ages today have an overwhelming number of options to keep them busy during the summer months. But to find the right camp for your kid, it’s important to make your application early, as space is limited.
Following is a list of just some of the camps in or near Maryland, grouped in different categories, offering everything from religious study and computer skills to sports training.
