Day Camps and Playgrounds
 For more than 35 summers, M-NCPPC has been providing Prince George's County children with fun-filled summer day camps and playgrounds. (Summer teen center programs are a more recent addition.)
Because we recognize that summer recreational needs vary from family to family, we've created a system that is flexible and allows you to register your child for multiple programs - you can sign up for as many summer day camp sessions as you want, mix in weeks of playgrounds/teen centers, or bookend your vacation with a mix of the two programs. No matter what you choose, your child will have a safe, memorable summer!
Before you can register for summer day camps or summer playgrounds/teen centers you must first set up a free SMARTlink account. Click here to learn how to create an account.
For a complete listing of summer programs, click on SMARTlink and go straight to registration. Or, download a copy of the Summer Programs Brochure below and browse through a traditional print version.

From a Customer "I just want to say, for the third year in a row, what an enormous pleasure it is working with Prince George’s Park and Planning. This is the third year that I have enrolled my daughter in your camps and my experience has been uniformly pleasant, from the friendly outgoing counselors that work directly with my daughter, to the administrators of the facilities where the camps are held, to the people who have to put up with me, two years in a row, losing my receipts and needing copies at tax time.
I realize that parks and planning is probably a fun place to work since it’s about leisure and recreation, but I still think your entire operation is terrific."
- Nan A.
