As we closely follow the evolving situation around COVID-19, our goal is to keep the GCDS community informed at every step. The safety and health of our students is our top priority.
Learn MoreGlenwood Country Day School’s Summer Adventures Camp is the premier summer camp program in Howard County for children ages 2 and up. Whatever your interests are… we have a summer for you! Our degreed and fully-trained staff will excite and inspire your child in a safe and nurturing environment. Your child will spend time with old friends and make new ones while exploring lively outdoor adventures.
Is your child ready to explore the world? To learn about different cultures and taste different foods? This is exactly what they will find at Summer Adventures Camp! Each week we explore a different country of the world through crafts, stories, food, games and music.
World travelers need a little time to refresh and re-energize each day too! To balance the day, your child will spend time swimming in our beautiful inground pool, learning archery (ages 10 and up), and working on STEM skills in the computer lab and science blocks.
Glenwood Country Day School’s Summer Adventure Camp offers many different opportunities for campers to learn, grow and have fun all summer long.

We teach children to swim in a safe, caring, positive, and fun environment. We recognize that each child is an individual with different emotional and developmental needs and abilities. We cater lessons to those needs. Beginners will focus on water acclimation, floating and kicking skills. Advanced swimmers focus on the various strokes such as freestyle and backstroke, then progress to butterfly and breaststroke. Your swimmers will also learn valuable safety rules and survival skills while we strive to encourage the development of your child’s self-esteem, confidence, responsibility and love of the water.
Parents should open the Swim Lesson Application and choose which camp weeks you would like your child to attend swim lessons. Circle the days that you would like for your child to attend. Please note that your child will need to be enrolled in our Summer Adventures Camp to attend swim lessons.
Glenwood Country Day School’s tutorial center provides a one-on-one personal academic support system. It is a safe, creative space where we help students ages 4 thru 15 become more successful. Our tutors share their knowledge of their subject matter by providing an active learning experience for their students by explaining difficult concepts and providing hands-on examples for exploration. They ENCOURAGE, MOTIVATE, INSPIRE, ENABLE students to develop confidence in their academic abilities.
