Enjoying laughter, embarking on immersive adventures, and building connections that last a lifetime — these are the ingredients of Fairfax County Park Authority camps. And now that registration is open for all upcoming spring and summer camps, it’s time to secure your spot in an experience sure to form lasting memories.

Take up an instrument, try a new sport, connect with animals, explore nature, learn acting skills, cook up something in the kitchen, craft with various mediums and much more.
