It’s that time of year again! It’s time to start making summer camp plans for your child! The Child, Youth and School Services (CYSS) at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) offers Active Duty military, DoD civilians, and contractors a comprehensive set of programs to assist with summer child care needs. Both the Aberdeen and Edgewood Summer Camp Programs consist of nine sessions, running from June 17 to August 16, Monday – Friday, 6:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. The program is open to qualifying children completing kindergarten through 8th grades. Tuition fees are up to $140 per week based on the child’s grade and total family or household income. Sessions run week to week, allowing parents to sign up for only the weeks when child care is needed. Summer fees can be downloaded on the Central Registration page. The APG Summer Camp programs are located at the Aberdeen and Edgewood Youth Centers. Campers will enjoy art, sports, games, computer labs and swimming. In addition, every week the entire camp goes on a special field trip. Past trips have included tours of DC area museums, amusement parks and everyone’s summer favorite, the Harford County Farm Fair. Breakfast, lunch and snack are included in the tuition.
