The primary goal of Gaithersburg Summer Camp programs is to offer a safe and positive environment for campers to develop social and physical skills, self-confidence and to just have fun. All City Summer Camp programs are licensed by the Maryland Department of Health and will operate in compliance with all State and County health regulations, which may include mandatory face coverings, physical distancing, reduced number of participants/smaller unit sizes, "drive-thru" check-in/check-out procedures, and limited field trips.
Please note that the full field trip schedule for the 2022 camp season has not yet been confirmed, but campers will swim twice a week at the Gaithersburg Water Park. Camp locations scheduled at schools may also be subject to change depending on MCPS summer school programs. Visit the City's website for updates.
The majority of camps begin June 21 and operate in convenient one-week sessions that provide flexibility for summer family adventures. All-day and partial-day camps are available for both elementary and middle school ages. All-day camps operate from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The hours for partial-day camps vary depending on the camp.
This summer's offerings also include preschool and kindergarten programs, and specialty camps in dance, visual and performing arts, video and music production, STEM, and skateboarding clinics for youth and teens. Explore all of our summer camp and program options here.
An engaging volunteer and workforce development program is available for high school ages to assist in the City's summer programs. Youth must apply and undergo an interview process to be selected as a volunteer or intern. The City is also seeking qualified applicants ages 18 and older to work during the summer. Applicants should enjoy working with young people and be talented in arts, music and/or sports. Job openings are posted on the Job Opportunities page on the City's website at www.gaithersburgmd.gov.
The Dolores C. Swoyer Camp Scholarship Fund provides City of Gaithersburg families with financial assistance so their children can participate in our summer camp experiences. Donations can be made by calling 301-258-6350.
Payment plans are available for select programs prior to May 31, and City residents who qualify may apply for financial assistance for eligible programs prior to registration.
