For immediate release: February 14, 2019<\/p>\n
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\u2019s Castle Rock<\/a>, Parker<\/a> and Lone Tree<\/a> locations, March 18-22.<\/p>\n 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<\/a> for qualified applicants.<\/p>\n \u201cOver the years, we\u2019ve 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,\u201d said Annette Hanowski, whose daughter has attended Camp DCL since its inception in 2017.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are so many camps out there that look interesting, but they fail our parental cost-benefit analysis. I\u2019ve found DCL camps to be reasonably priced considering the impact they\u2019ve had on our daughter and the lessons she\u2019s learned. We love them!\u201d said Hanowski.<\/p>\n Douglas County Libraries\u2019 2019 spring break camps include:<\/p>\n 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<\/a> or call (303) 791-7323.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Douglas County Libraries elevates our community by inspiring a love of reading, discovery and connection.<\/p>\n\n
