夏令营

这个营地开业多久了?
麦克唐纳夏令营 has been offering high-quality programs to the local community for over 80 years.

What is the camp's registration process like?
Links to our online registration are available on almost every page of the summer camp website. The process is streamlined so that parents may choose camps and bus service along with setting up payments.

夏令营可以例外吗?
Our camps do have age requirements for each specific camp. But if you feel your child would get more value out of a program outside their specified age range, feel free to contact the camp office to see if they would be willing to accommodate a change.

夏令营多长时间?
六个星期. The first day of camp is Monday, June 17, and the last day of camp is Friday, July 26.

Is camp closed any days during the summer?
是的, 营地周三关闭, June 19 for the Juneteenth holiday and on Thursday, 7月4日是独立日. 夏令营于7月5日星期五开放.

What should your son or daughter bring with them to camp?
Approximately two weeks before camp starts, parents will receive an informational email from the director of their child’s camp. If your child is attending more than one camp, you will receive individualized information from each director. These informational emails will include specific items for your camper to bring for the camps they are attending.

Is transportation provided to and from the camp?
McDonogh’s well-maintained bus fleet provides transportation to and from over 40 community stops in 巴尔的摩 City and Anne Arundel, 巴尔的摩, 卡罗尔, 以及霍华德县. 运输 is optional; the cost is $35 a week per camper. Families must sign up during the registration process for bus service to and from one of our community stops.

The routes are carefully constructed to be as fair as possible to all families involved. Group stops are utilized for our summer camps to provide greater safety when picking up and dropping off campers. Buses cannot be altered to accommodate "around the block" pick-up, nor can they be lengthened or altered for more individualized service.

所有营地都提供游泳吗?
Swimming is provided daily for the following six camps: Camp Red Feather, 红鹰营, 高级营, The All Sports Camp (not to be confused with individual weekly sports camps), 户外探险, 及网球营. All our other camps do not offer swimming as part of their daily programming.

如果我的孩子生病了怎么办?
Our infirmary is staffed by three nurses during the summer. If a child becomes sick or suffers an injury, our nurses will care for the camper and contact the parents or guardians. 

夏令营的取消政策是什么?

There are no refunds for any reason after May 31, 2024, 缺勤情况包括, 但不限于疾病, 家庭度假, 体育时间表, or changes in the camper’s personal schedule. 另外, no refunds will be offered if camp is closed due to "Acts of God" such as a tornado, 停电, 等., or for any reason that would prohibit the camp from operating safely.

Is the camp focused on fun or skill-building?
两者的结合. Our philosophy has always been fun with a purpose. So, while camp is designed for the ultimate fun experience, campers will learn a variety of skills depending on the camp they attend.
