Summer Camps in Howard County at Your Journey!
Embark on an Unforgettable Summer Adventure: Why Camp Your Journey is the Perfect Choice for Your Child!
The final school bell is getting closer, and the familiar question arises: how can we make this summer truly memorable, engaging, and enriching for our children? While lazy days by the pool have their charm, imagine a summer filled with discovery, adventure, learning, and laughter – all wrapped up in one incredible experience. Welcome to Camp Your Journey, right here in Glenwood, MD!
If you're looking for a summer camp for your child aged 5-13 that goes beyond the ordinary, look no further. Camp Your Journey is designed to ignite curiosity, foster growth, and create lasting memories. We believe summer should be a time for exploration, and we've built a program packed with diverse experiences to keep campers excited and engaged week after week.
So, why should Camp Your Journey be at the top of your summer planning list? Let's explore!
1. Weekly Adventures: Exploring Near and Far!
One of the highlights that sets Camp Your Journey apart is our commitment to exploration beyond our home base. Each week features an exciting field trip – sometimes an off-site adventure to a cool local destination, other times an amazing in-house experience brought directly to our campers!
These trips aren't just random outings; they tie into our weekly themes, providing real-world context and hands-on fun. Imagine your child exploring a nature center one week and participating in a special science workshop the next! To ensure safe and seamless adventures, children will be transported by one of our dedicated YJNP (Your Journey N' Play) camp counselors. We understand parents might want to join the fun too, so there will be ample opportunities for parent chaperones to participate in these weekly excursions. It's a fantastic way to see the camp magic in action!
2. Themed Weeks: A Framework for Fun and Learning
Variety is the spice of life, and it's definitely the spice of summer camp! Camp Your Journey features a new, exciting theme each week to guide our activities and lessons. This keeps things fresh and ensures that campers are always encountering new ideas and challenges. From exploring the wonders of the natural world to diving into futuristic technology, each theme provides a unique lens through which campers learn and play.

3. A Structured Day Packed with Diverse Activities
While adventure and themes provide the spark, a well-rounded structure ensures a balanced and fulfilling day. When campers are on-site at our Glenwood location, they aren't just waiting for the next field trip. They engage in a thoughtfully planned schedule filled with a wide range of activities designed to expose them to fascinating concepts. Our daily plans incorporate:
STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math come alive through hands-on projects and experiments.
Tech Exploration: Age-appropriate introductions to technology concepts and creative digital tools.
Exploration & Discovery: Activities designed to encourage curiosity about the world around them.
Humanitarianism: Projects and discussions fostering empathy, community awareness, and kindness.
And So Much More! Including creative arts, group games, outdoor play (weather permitting), and team-building challenges.
This blend ensures that campers are exercising their minds and bodies, learning new skills, collaborating with peers, and developing socially and emotionally.
