The Jan. 7 fair will be at the East County Community Recreation Center, located at 3310 Gateshead Manor Way in Silver Spring. The Jan. 22 fair will be at the Nancy H. Dacek North Potomac Community Recreation Center, located at 13850 Travilah Rd. in Rockville. Both fairs will take place from 1-4 p.m.
Registration for summer camp programs opens on Tuesday, Jan. 17. Residents will be able to view camp information online and build their own guide beginning Jan. 6. Those who attend the second fair on Jan 22 will be able to register their children for camps at the fair.
Montgomery County Recreation provides hundreds of healthy summer camp programs at locations throughout the County. Parents are encouraged to plan early for the summer months as many camps fill up quickly.
New this year, the fairs will enable parents and children to experience games and activities that will also be at summer camp. The fairs will have gaga pit, arts, crafts, games and snacks.
At the fairs, families can meet with recreation staff members and talk with instructors to ask questions and learn more about the offerings. They also will be able to register for Rec Assist, the department’s financial aid program.
