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

Bollman Truss BridgeThe Bollman Truss Bridge is the only known remaining example of the revolutionary all-iron truss system patented by Baltimore engineer Wendell Bollman in the mid-19th century.

Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2000, it is now utilized as a pedestrian bridge connecting Historic Savage Mill with the Mill Trail, a walk linking old mill sites along the Patuxent River. 8650 Foundry Street, Savage, MD 20763
