Summer Camp

FoD offers a free, all day, six week summer camp for 75 youth at one of our DCPS sites from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The camp provides free breakfast and lunch each day, and includes baseball skill workshops and physical exercise in the morning. Academic classes including math, reading, health, art, and social skills. Campers also have two hours of free play time and electives in the afternoon where they can engage in arts and crafts projects, try new activities, swim , or return to the baseball diamond to work on their skills. A few times in the summer, campers go on field trips to Nats games, Six Flags, museums, and other baseball camps.
