County Recreation to Extend Summer Programs at Six Recreation Centers to Assist Families Prior to the Start of the School Year


Montgomery County Recreation will extend summer camp programs at six recreation centers to support families who need additional childcare options. The programs will offer core-day and extended-day options. The sessions will begin Aug. 9 and 16 and will be offered at the East County, Good Hope, Mid-County, Plum Gar, Wheaton and White Oak recreation centers.

The programs are positioned to serve communities with the greatest number of families eligible for RecAssist, which is Montgomery County Recreation’s financial assistance program.

RecAssist provides financial assistance to eligible residents to use toward most Recreation activities and memberships. County residents who currently receive public assistance from any of the following programs are eligible for RecAssist: Temporary Cash Assistance (TCA); Supplemental Security Income; Housing Assistance from a Shelter; Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); Maryland Medicaid; Care for Kids; Maryland Energy Assistance; Montgomery County HHS Rental Assistance Program; and WIC.

Registration for extended summer programs is available at ActiveMONTGOMERY. For more information, or to register visit, MCR website or call 240-777-6840.
