Dear SMDS camp families,
It is with a very heavy heart that I am announcing the cancellation of our summer camp programs for the summer of 2020. This decision comes after many hours of working through CDC and MDH regulations due to COVID-19 and many discussions with our day school board. I know that this has been a very difficult 3 months for all of us that have children or have dedicated our lives to educating children. SMDS has been holding summer camp for the last 13 years and we pride ourselves on providing the children with hands on, interactive learning and socialization. The current regulations will not allow us to be successful with our mission and the stages of recovery are still very uncertain.
All monies that have been paid will be refunded back to you, you do not have to request it. This may take a few weeks to accomplish, so please bear with us. If you wish to donate your registration fee back to SMDS during this difficult financial time, please just let us know by replying to this email and we thank you in advance.
We will be back next summer ready to resume the hands on, interactive fun that we all look forward to. Camp registration for 2021 will begin on January 1, 2021.
We will miss our camp families so much this summer! Please stay safe and healthy!
Camp Themes and Dates
Session 1:
Under the Sea
Mermaids, fish, and sharks, oh my! Let's splash into summer together. Dive right in with us for underwater exploration and adventures! Let's explore life under the sea by learning about sea animals through a variety of crafts, books, and activities. We will learn about the difference between fresh and saltwater, as well as the marine life that lives in the Chesapeake Bay. Our two week adventure will end with a visit from the Annapolis Maritime Museum.
