Recreation Department Montgomery County Recreation Department and Public Schools Extend Summer Programs Due to Later Start Date of School Year

3 Montgomery County summer camp programs will be extended to support families without childcare options due to the later start time of the school year. This follows the executive order that Governor Larry Hogan signed last fall, which required Maryland s public schools to start classes after Labor Day, beginning with the school year. Montgomery County Recreation added more than 40 additional full or half-day programs to effectively serve families due to the later start date for the school year. This included six Summer Fun Centers (SFC), which are the Department of Recreation s most affordable summer day programs. Registration is available online at and is also available by mail, fax to , or in person at most recreation and parks facilities including community recreation centers, ice rinks, tennis centers, aquatic facilities and at the Montgomery County Recreation Administrative Offices at 4010 Randolph Road in Silver Spring.
