Dear Takoma Sportscamps Families,
I am sorry to inform you about disappointing news regarding camp for Summer 2022. I am unable to secure a location for camp this summer. It's very frustrating. I looked forward to bringing our camp community together again.
After starting the process of applying in early January to rent the school, I was told applications were not accepted yet due to Covid. In February I was told a "new and improved" system would be ready for rental applications on February 22, 2022. I reapplied and was informed that the site is not working, and that I cannot apply until May 1, 2022. For planning purposes this date is too late.
I regret the disappointment and inconvenience this causes the Takoma Sportscamps families. I hope the system is functioning in a way that allos us to return to camp in Summer 2023. I miss camp.
-Thanks, Louis
What are the camp's hours and is extended care available?
Camp begins at 9:00 am and ends at 3:30 pm. Campers must arrive
and be picked up prompty. Due to the location change aftercare is
not available for the 2020 season, but to account for this the
hours have been extended until 4PM.

children to play with their friends.

What does my
child need to bring with them to camp?
Every camper should bring lunch, a water bottle, and sunscreen, as
well as their camp t-shirt. They can also bring money to use at the
snack bar. Each sport requires specific equipment, which can be
found on the Baseball Camp, Softball Camp, and Basketball
Camp pages. Please make sure all belongings are
labled.
Where do I
drop off and pick up my child?
Drop off and pick up at the Takoma Academy Gymnasium circular
driveway.
After being signed in, campers should go into the gym immediately. We cannot be responsible for campers playing outside.
You must sign your camper out promptly at 3:30. If you'd like
them or another parent to sign out, you must provide written
authorization.
