Dates & Rates

Designed for children ages 6-13, the camp curriculum has been created to offer a wide variety of programs to meet the interests, abilities, and needs of our campers. Campers must be 6 years old, or no more than 13 years old, by their first day of camp.

Parents may choose as many weeks as they like for their children to enjoy the wonderful UMBC Day Camp. Be it one week or all nine weeks, it is a great way for your child to spend the summer.

Too old to be a camper but too young to be a counselor? Find information about our Junior Counselor program here: Employment and Volunteer Opportunities

Registration is on a first come, first served basis until a session is filled. Once a session is filled a waiting list will be created, parents will be contacted upon session availability.  Enrollment from the wait list is contingent on the age and gender of the spot that becomes available.

Due to the high demand for camp we are requiring that all weeks you wish to cancel must be submitted to us via email, summerdaycamp@umbc.edu, by May 31st. Cancellations made prior to May 31st will result in a full refund minus transaction/registration fees.  Parents who submit a request for cancellation after May 31st will not receive any refunds and will be responsible for 100% of all payments for those weeks cancelled.  All camp weeks must be paid in full by June 1st.  Failure to make payment in full by June 1st, may result in forfeiture of camp registration.
