Camps offer a wide-range of opportunities for children and youth. Some camps provide intensive learning opportunities in a particular area, such as a musical instrument, while others expose children and youth to new things.
One of the most popular summer camp resources in the District is the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR). DPR offers camps for all ages and interests and more information is available on the Summer Camp Registration site.
