J Day Camp
We are actively planning for summer in 2021! We learned so much during our 2020 season and our intention is to return to a more typical J Camps line-up of offerings in 2021, while continuing to follow all Maryland Department of Health and CDC guidelines to keep campers and staff safe.
Below is information on our originally planned 2020 season. We will be updating with Summer 2021 information soon!

Your child will love free swim and you’ll love that they receive instructional swim too!
