For Immediate Release: February 13, 2023

The 2023 Summer of Smiles Summer Camps Guide is now available online, and in print at all City of Alexandria recreation centers. The guide contains 75 camp options available to youth ages 2 to 17, including sports, creative arts, computers, nature, performing arts, excursions, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), Camp Adventure, Out of School Time and classic camps. Campers get the most out of summer by participating in a different camp each week. To make summer planning easy, check out our Summer Fun Finder on the inside covers of the guide.
