For immediate release: February 14, 2019
With spring break for Douglas County kids just around the corner, Douglas County Libraries is pleased to offer full-day spring break camps that give working parents an affordable child care option while school is out. Parents can register now for their choice of three camps being offered at the library’s Castle Rock, Parker and Lone Tree locations, March 18-22.
The budget-friendly day camps give kids ages 6-11 the chance to try new activities, express their creativity, and build confidence while having fun. In addition, Camp DCL scholarships may be available from the Douglas County Libraries Foundation for qualified applicants.
“Over the years, we’ve participated in several camps around town. The baking camps at Douglas County Libraries provide real cooking lessons, and as a parent, I appreciate that my daughter is getting exposure to new foods,” said Annette Hanowski, whose daughter has attended Camp DCL since its inception in 2017.
“There are so many camps out there that look interesting, but they fail our parental cost-benefit analysis. I’ve found DCL camps to be reasonably priced considering the impact they’ve had on our daughter and the lessons she’s learned. We love them!” said Hanowski.
Douglas County Libraries’ 2019 spring break camps include:
- Culture Camp, Lone Tree. Kids ages 6-10 can explore global cultures through cooking and art.
- Superhero Camp, Castle Rock – Philip S. Miller. Kids ages 7-11 will make a live-action superhero mini movie and engineer superhero vehicles and hideouts with LEGOs.
- Pop Art and Music Camp, Parker. Kids ages 7-11 can express themselves through pop-art projects and by working together to create an age-appropriate music video.
Spring break camps have been expanded to full days, from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Monday-Friday, March 18-22, for $325 per camper. To register or learn more about the camps and scholarship opportunities, visit DCL.org/camp-dcl or call (303) 791-7323.
The library will also offer weeklong, half-day summer camps for kids ages 5-12 from June 3-August 2, 2019. Registration for those camps begins Friday, March 1, 2019.
Douglas County Libraries elevates our community by inspiring a love of reading, discovery and connection.
