Montgomery County Recreation SUMMER LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE Ages 13-16: Summer Leadership Challenge (SLC) is a leadership development program that encourages exploration, independence and personal growth.

Young people participate in interactive workshops that prepare them for leadership roles and employment. Our goal is to empower participants to effect positive changes within themselves and within their community. Young people will learn about employment opportunities they can pursue and become competent in leading others in activities. Each session concludes with participants coordinating and implementing a capstone project benefiting the local community. In addition to developing useful skills, participants will earn service learning hours and receive individual evaluations. At Summer Leadership Challenge, young people will establish lasting friendships, develop a sense of responsibility, learn to work effectively in groups, build accountability, and gain the confidence to solve problems independently. Participants will also receive an opportunity to earn CPR and First Aid certification. You may only register for one (1) session of SLC. Participants may earn up to 35 SSL hours for the session. No transportation is available. Camps will not meet July 4.

Golf and So Much More - Full Day

For kids who want to try golf but don’t want to spend all day at it, this great combo camp is a 50/50 split that will keep them interested all day long. With the help of a Montgomery County Golf Academy instructor, all campers will practice putting, chipping, driving, and using irons and woods at the Driving Range, and then on Friday, we will go to a nearby golf course to play a round of 9 holes. Golf equipment will be provided to those who don’t have their own golf clubs. Each camper will receive professional instruction, tees, and Golf balls. In the afternoon, full-day campers will participate in group activities such as field games (examples: soccer, basketball, kick ball, etc.), mini-golf, and water fun at the South Germantown Splash Park. Please note that all activities will be held outside, and can vary depending on the weather. Bring a non-perishable lunch and snack, water bottle, sunscreen, bathing suit, and towel. Fee covers instruction, tees, golf balls, and transportation to the golf course on Friday. Full-day campers will also get pizza for lunch on Friday. Don’t want full day camp? Sign up for half-day camp and concentrate on golf!

Beginner/Intermediate Golf Camp

This half-day camp is just the ticket for kids 6-14 years old who have expressed interest in and/or shown a talent for golf, but aren’t quite ready to play a full round.

Fridays at Totally Tennis will finish with a mini tournament featuring match play and large group games adapted for all ages and levels. Sneakers and comfortable clothing are a must.

Ah! Summertime - Tom Sawyer’s favorite season: School’s out, the Mississippi River is flowing gently, fishing’s good, and Aunt Polly’s inclined to forget about those bothersome chores. So what’ an imaginative child to do but seek adventure? In this camp we’ll re-enact some of Tom’s escapades from cane pole fishing, to whitewashing and hunting for treasure. We’ll also learn about rural life in the 1840s, America’s pre-industrial age, when most things were still handmade and self-sufficiency was the norm. We’ll do a bit of tin smithing, leatherworking, wood carving, and maybe even build a raft! In the playful spirit of Mark Twain, (who never quite grew up), come join us!

Brookside Nature Center

Hand-in-hand, parents and their children will explore, laugh, play and learn about their natural world! Water play, building with nature and animal antics will keep parents and children busy. Whether it’s a ‘messy moment’ or animal movement warm-ups you’ll enjoy a balance of free play, organized games, story time and simple crafts with your best little trail buddy!

Raptor Camp

Raptor Campers will spend the week learning about Maryland’s amazing eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures, and owls. We’ll learn basic raptor natural history, play predator/prey games, dissect an owl pellet, and look for nesting raptors in the wild as we hike the trails of Meadowside Nature Center to explore the habitats where these birds live. We’ll learn to identify common local species in the sky using binoculars and field guides, meet the resident birds, and help with the daily weighing of food to get a better understanding of how they live under human care.

Seeing and Writing Home-Nature Photography & Writing Camp

It is said that “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and a wellcrafted phrase can create an image as vivid as any photograph.

We’ll explore both of these crafts in Seeing Home/Writing Home.

For campers who love reading and writing as well as nature, using the inspiration of the woods, trails, pond, and stream around Meadowside we’ll turn our nature observations into stories. With cameras, tablets, and even phones we’ll document what we see and explore using words and pictures to share our outdoor experiences with others. Plan to hike, splash, journal, photograph, draw (if you like), and express your own relationship in nature.
