As a kid, I couldn't wait until the summer because that meant fun time at the pool, handing out with my friends, riding my bike, playing games and Slurpees. As a parent with children of my own, it's only fair that I provide my children with some fun activities for the summer. I checked the YMCA, Private Camps, and the Department of Parks and Recreation. Upon visiting the centers, I was very impressed with:
YMCA - There are two YMCA's in Prince Georges County and they offers a variety of programs for youths - Traditional camps, Sports and Learning camps, Specialty camps, Curiosity Science camps, Arts camps, Leadership/Teen camps, and Trips Camps.

Private Camps - There are tons of private camps in Prince Georges County and I've checked out a few and they were all pretty good, but I show favoritism towards Art z Kids located in Upper Marlboro, MD. This camp exposes children to visual arts through a variety of art mediums, cultural projects and Art History. My daughter is a student and she'll be spending some of her summer vacation at the Art z Kids summer arts program.
Department of Recreation - Prince Georges County Department of Parks and Recreation has the largest camp with a variety programs from visual and performing arts, swimming, camping, dancing, computers, crafts, sport and so much more.
It's not too late to register for the second or third session.
