2025 summer camps
Baltimore County offers unique summer camp experiences for children ages 4 to 14. Themes include nature, crafts and sports. Registration is available starting Wednesday, January 15 at 10 a.m.
We recommend reviewing program availability and creating a CivicRec account in advance, as some programs sell out quickly.
