2015 SUMMER


Allan H. KittlemanHoward County Executive

John R. ByrdDepartment of Recreation & Parks Director

Welcome to the 2015 Summer Camp Guide! With warmer weather just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about summer camp!

Whether you’re mapping out your kids’ summer months in advance or looking for a last-minute camp to fill up a week, Howard County Recreation & Parks’ 2015 Camp Guide has something for everyone. We’ve provided you with a handy calendar (page 73), to help you and your camper(s) decide what camps best meet their interests and your family’s schedule.

In this year’s guide you’ll find a camp for every taste. From cooking, crafts, fine arts and culture to dance, music, theater arts and science/technology, our camps introduce new skills without the pressure of homework or grades. Enriching camps keep the mind sharp when school is out and science has never been as fun as when campers launch their own rockets.

If your camper enjoys exploring the great outdoors and adventures to unique locales, flip to page 6 where you’ll find our Adventure, Nature and Outdoors section. Back by popular demand are our archery camps, which have been expanded this year to include more sessions. Again this summer, we’re offering several camps that feature day trips to places outside of Howard County.

Check out page 48 for sport camps, where expert instructors teach campers the basics of different sports in a non-competitive setting with diverse activities to keep each day fresh and exciting. For the more experienced athletes, we offer sport-specific camps to help sharpen skills and get one ready for the upcoming scholastic sports season.

For those who like to get their summer camp schedule done early, a number of our camps offer an Early Bird special. Register by March 8 to receive 10% off the listed price. Many of our camps fill up quickly, so don’t delay, register today!

We know there are many options from which you can choose this summer, but we hope Howard County Recreation & Parks’ wide selection helps make your planning easier. Wishing you and your family a safe, fun and memorable summer!

Blandair FarmBlandair takes its name from Theodorick Bland, a colorful figure in early Maryland politics. He served as Chancellor of Maryland from 1824 until his death in 1846. While the property was farmed as early as 1798, most of the existing buildings date from the mid-19th century, and include a granary, a springhouse, some tenant houses and the brick main house. Howard County purchased the property in 1998 and plans to develop the site as a regional park. While public access to Blandair is limited during restoration, occasional heritage programs are held there. The farm was also the site of the 2003 International Preservation Trade Conference. 6651 Route 175, Columbia, MD 21044

Only individuals who are registered may participate. Where age or grade restrictions apply, “age” usually refers to the age of the participant at the start of the program and “grade” to current grade. If any other standards apply, they are noted in the Guide. We reserve the right to question grade or age and may request a birth certificate or other proof of eligibility.

For many programs, registrants or parents/legal guardians of minor regis-trants are required to provide a signed Participant Information form at the first meeting. The purpose of this form is to ensure that participants willingly share responsibility for their own safety. All activities contain certain inher-ent risks that each participant assumes. Due to the strenuous nature of some activities, each participant is urged to consult his or her physician concerning his or her fitness to participate. Please note that many programs will require confirmation that immunizations are current.

A parent or legal guardian must accompany a child each day for both check-in and pick-up. It is your responsibility to sign your child in at the beginning of the program and sign your child out immediately following the program. Staff are not responsible for your child before or after scheduled activities. A fee may be assessed if your child is not picked up at the close of the program.

Children must remain with the program for the full period scheduled. To leave before a day’s program is complete, a child must have written parental consent or the parent/legal guardian must pick the child up af-ter notifying the program director. No refunds are issued for time missed for this or from dismissals resulting from disciplinary action.

In determining whether child is ready to participate in these activities, please be aware that our staff does not change diapers.

If a program is filled when we receive your registration, we will contact you; you may then cancel your application at no charge, select an alternate program or place your name on a waiting list.

Canceled Programs

We don’t like to cancel programs, but each one must meet its minimum enrollment. Don’t be disappointed — register early and bring a friend! An activity may also be canceled due to circumstances beyond our control, such as the unavailability of an instructor or location. If a program is canceled, registrants are contacted immediately and a full refund credited.
