Parent Questions
How do I register and pay online?
To register, please click here. The first time you register, you will have to create a user name and password. After that, you will be able to sign in and access your summer camp information, make payments, and see your child’s schedule during the summer.
I can’t make or missed the open houses. How can I see the campus?
We would be happy to schedule a tour for you and your child. We can accommodate you during normal business hours and some weekends to show you the campus.
How do I ensure my child is with their friend?
Most camps stick together. So if they are enrolled in the same camp for the same week, they should be together. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact the camp office at (301) 774-7455 x 167.
Can my child go to after care or morning care for just one day?
Yes. We accommodate after care and morning care drop ins on a daily basis. Please contact the camp office at (301) 774-7455 x 167.
Is there a nurse on duty?
Yes. Summer at Sandy Spring is fortunate enough to have a nurse on campus during normal camp hours and on call during extended hours. Also, a certified trained medical technician is on duty during all camp hours.
How is your staff selected? Are they screened?
All of our staff undergo a FBI and Maryland background check. About one third of our staff have ties to the Sandy Spring community as teachers, students, and coaches. Many of our staff have been working at our camp for years.
What do I need to bring to camp?
We recommend you bring a water bottle to camp. Also, please wear clothes that can get dirty and are comfortable to play in. Please label everything so if lost we can return it to you. If a specific camp requires gear of some sort, a letter will be sent home well in advance describing the needs.
My child has a serious health allergy. How can I ensure their safety?
We are great with food and other allergies. We recommend that you contact the camp office before camp begins to set up an appointment to speak with our nurse. During this time, we will develop a plan of action to ensure your child’s safety. We are very flexible and accommodating with health concerns.
Are all of your campers Sandy Spring Students?
No. Only about fifteen percent of our campers are Sandy Spring Students. The vast majority come from outside the school. About one third of our campers come from the Olney and Sandy Spring area. The rest come from a wide range of areas in Montgomery, Howard, PG County and Washington DC.
