Spring Break Camp

The DC Department of Parks and Recreation offers full-day Spring Break Camp programs in recreation centers for children, ages 3–13, during DC Public Schools' spring break. DPR provides youth with a variety of structured games, sports, character-education exercises, and arts and crafts. Our goal is to plant the seeds of personal development and environmental responsibility in a fun and engaging recreation setting.
