By • January 22, 2024 0 688
Even though we’re in the middle of winter, summer camp registration is in full swing! Here are some options in the area for all interests and ages.
Most of Burke’s summer programs are now open for registration! June 10 through August 23, enjoy options in graphic design, coding, improv, soccer skills, writing, math and more.
Burke’s summer programs have options for many types of interests, from the sporty to academic to improv and theater and everything in between.
Camp Aventura
The Spanish immersion urban adventure summer camp includes field trips exploring local museums, parks, historic buildings and more. Camp counselors are native Spanish speakers, and your child does not need to have previous Spanish language experience.
With programs for ages 3 to seniors in high school, there is truly “something for everyone” at Sidwell Summer. There are programs at the school’s D.C. and Bethesda campuses including sports-related options, theater camp, a summer equity and justice camp and more.
Summer at Georgetown Day School
Georgetown Day School’s summer options include a bike riding camp, an insider’s guide to politics, creative writing, and more. Students can avoid the “summer slide” with academic reviews and prep for their upcoming school year.
