Junior Counselors must first complete the Summer Leadership Challenge and must attend a Junior Counselor Orientation before participating. Junior Counselors will assist counselors in setting up activities and leading campers in games, sports and crafts. Junior Counselors may also be paired with an individual camper to enhance their camp experience. Student service learning hours will be awarded for successful completion of a Junior Counselor session. Junior Counselors may only sign up for two (two week sessions).

There is no cost for the mandatory Junior Counselor Orientation.

Teen Service Learning Opportunities TR Camp Assistant

TR Mainstream Companion

Leadership Training for TR volunteers. This interactive training will help prepare volunteers to work with children with disabilities in our summer programs. The workshop will focus on leadership and communication skills as well as disability and sensitivity awareness. Student Service hours will be awarded for the training when you complete your volunteer service. Select one training session when you register.

TR Camp Assistant Summer Volunteer. Are you a teen who's interested in teaching special education? Do you go to school with a student with a disability but didn't know how to approach him or her? Gain valuable experience by providing general assistance and support in a Therapeutic Recreation camp designed for children with physical, developmental, or learning disabilities. You must be at least 14 by the start of the program session. Camp descriptions listed on pages 30-31.

Teens can experience, first hand, the satisfaction of helping children with disabilities gain the most from their summer. You can enjoy, learn and contribute in giving a child with a disability the opportunity to integrate into one of the summer camps, clinics or summer fun centers. You must be at least 14 by the start of the program session. If you want to volunteer for multiple sessions, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at 240-777-6891.

The silent wing of the owl, a flapping kite, a whirring helicopter and roaring rocket all have something in common. They take to the air! What have we learned about flight from our animal friends, and how did we apply that knowledge so that we, too, could fly? We'll examine everything from bird feathers to man-made fliers, have fun with physics and investigate the forces and forms of flight. We'll make helicopters and airplanes, launch rockets, try our hand at flight simulators and more. Take the leap and explore how things soar!

Join Love your parks? Help support them!

Being a Friend of Montgomery Parks is a great way to support our green, open spaces and the wonderful parks of Montgomery County. Friends receive access to special Friends-only events and programs, benefit from special discounts, receive our e-newsletter, and will receive a bumper sticker or magnet so you can display your support.

Dedicate benches

Honor, memorialize or thank a relative, friend, or colleague with the dedication of a bench in one of Montgomery County’s beautiful parks. The Montgomery Parks Foundation will purchase and arrange for the installation of your new park, trail or garden bench, or you may choose to adopt an existing bench.

trees

Planting a new tree or adopting an existing tree in one of our parks is a perfect way to remember or honor loved ones, community members and friends.

The Montgomery Parks Foundation will arrange for the installation of a new tree from October 1 through April 30, during the planting season, or you can adopt an existing tree anytime!

• If you need help, contact the ParkPASS Help Desk at 301-495-2580 (M-F, 10am-2pm), or email us at MCP-ParkPASSHelp@MontgomeryParks.org.

Fill out and submit the necessary forms We'll need a Day Camp Participant Profile form for each camper. NOW ONLINE! A screen in ParkPASS will pop up in the middle of your registration process. Answer the questions, click "OK," and either "continue shopping" or "check out." Camp directors will be in touch about signing this form (they'll either mail it to you beforehand, or have it ready for you to sign the first day of camp).

• If you register for another camp online later, you won't need to answer these questions again— a screen with your previous answers will pop up, and you can update/correct, or just click "OK." • If your child requires any medication to be administered during camp hours, we'll also need a Day Camp Medication Form. Because this form requires a doctor's signature, you'll need to print it out, fill it out, get it signed and return it to the facility hosting your camp. You'll find a .pdf of this form at www.ParkPASS.org. Again, the camp director will be in touch to let you know if they'd like you to mail the signed form in before camp starts, or just bring it with you the first day of camp.

• If your child does not need medication during camp, you'll be able to tell us this online when you register, and will not need to print out or fill out the Medication Form.

Montgomery Parks SUMMER CAMP Refund Policy If Montgomery Parks has to cancel a Summer Camp, you will be notified and receive a full credit on your ParkPASS account, or at your request, a full refund (issued in the same form as received).

To withdraw from a Montgomery Parks Summer Camp, please submit a written request to the facility hosting your camp or program at least two (2) weeks prior to the start of the camp. Most facilities accept email as a “written request,” but please check with the facility hosting your camp or program. You may choose to receive a 100% credit to your ParkPASS account for future programs or classes, or receive a refund (issued in the same form as received), less a 20% administrative fee.

If your written request is received less than two (2) weeks prior to the start of the camp, no credit or refund will be issued unless your spot can be filled from the waitlist. If your spot is filled, you may choose to receive a 100% credit to your ParkPASS account for future programs or classes, or receive a refund (issued in the same form as received), less a 20% administrative fee.

Please allow 3-4 weeks to receive a check refund. Credit card refunds can take 5-7 days to appear on your credit card account, depending on the policies of your bank/credit card company.

Registration and Refund Info

Online: Register 24 hours a day, seven days a week at www.ParkPASS.org • In person: Visit a ParkPASS facility (see the “Index by Location” in this catalog, and look for the facilities with “PP” next to their name).
