The overarching theme for the camps will be “Move, Grow, and Be Green.” The camps cost $40 per session per student for D.C. residents and payment is due at registration. Registration is open, so register to secure your spot today!

Community Service

DCPS is partnering with Serve DC to provide our students meaningful opportunities for community service during the mid-winter break. This opportunity is available for 12th graders who need additional community service hours to be eligible for graduation. Please reach out to your school counselor or Terri-Ann Brown at [email protected] or (202) 698-1710 if your student is interested in participating in a service project during this break.
