• Ages: 5–15 years old
• Schedule: Weekly camps and several session camps, with optional Potomac Plus AM starting at 8:00 am and Potomac Plus PM running until 5:00 pm
Summer@Potomac offers complimentary bus transportation for all campers, with more than 40 bus stops and an extensive bus fleet that transports students from 90 zip codes. Add-ons include after-camp swim lessons, a lunch program, and a virtual camp store with Summer@Potomac gear. Campers ages 5 to 15 may choose from a wide variety of programs, including Musical Theatre camp, Nature Science Camps, Tinkering Camp, Service Learning Camp projects such as making trail mix bags and visiting a local food pantry, and SPARK’s My First Lemonade Stand, which teaches entrepreneurship and creating a list of jobs and required skills.
Campers are guided by experienced Head Counselors, many of whom are teachers with more than a decade of classroom expertise, supported by college and high school Assistant Counselors, many of whom are Summer@Potomac alumni. The program is staffed by experienced and caring professionals committed to providing a safe and secure environment. The leadership team includes Whitney Ennis, Director of Summer Programs, and Grace Burgett, Auxiliary Programs Coordinator.
Summer@Potomac builds on The Potomac School mission, which emphasizes intellectual development, love of learning, and strength of character as complementary and essential educational goals, and embraces the values of courage, integrity, humility, perseverance, and respect. The programs are designed to invigorate and challenge campers, helping them continue to grow into confident, compassionate, and curious individuals, with a stated commitment to respecting and celebrating diversity.
Community involvement includes Counselor Apprentices visiting Women Giving Back to sort clothing donations for women and children in need, and Service Learning Camp activities such as visiting a local food pantry and learning about community gardens. One camp parent noted the diversity of programs and campus facilities, along with quality activities and solid organization, and another described it as a “super fun summer camp” with many options, a pool, and a campus with “too many good things to list.”
