The Stafford Parks and Recreation Department has announced their summer camp line-up for children this summer in Stafford.
Last year more than 1,300 children attended the camps, according to Cathy Volbrecht, Director of Communications for Stafford County.
The county will hire around an additional 20 camp counselors to add to their returning summer camp staff roster, said Heather Hamm, Recreation Programmer for the parks and recreation department.
There will be 12 different types of camps for children to choose from this summer, including adventure camps, outdoor camps, and science camps.
The parks and recreation department will run nine camp sessions during the summer camp season, from June 15 to August 14.
“We host affordable half and full day camps that focus on sports, skateboarding, gymnastics, cheerleading, adventure, discovery, crafts, and nature,” said Volbrecht.
To kick off the summer camp season, the county will be hosting a Summer Camp night event at the Rowser Recreation Center on June 4 from 7 to 8 p.m.
Parents will be able to meet with staff and register their children for camp sessions during the event.
“Parents can meet our fun, energetic staff, ask questions, submit necessary forms and gain additional confidence that their children will be well taken care of for the summer,” commented Volbrecht.
The cost of the summer programs varies, depending on the session, the specific camp program and whether it’s a full day or part day camp.
