The weather is warm, school’s out and it’s time to head to camp!

Howard County Recreation & Parks is pleased to offer a wide variety of summer experiences for campers of all ages and interests. Whether you’re mapping out your child’s summer months in advance or looking for a last-minute camp to fill up a week, thumb through the guide with your camper, pick the camps that fit his or her interests and your family’s schedule and plan the entire summer on our handy calendar (page 73).

We’re bringing back many favorites in 2014, including enriching art camps by Abrakadoodle and KidzArt (page 20) that spark your creativ-ity and bring out your inner artist. Looking to dance? We offer many dance classes (page 25) that incorporate movement, crafts and other fun activities that get your camper up and active.

As always, we’ll hit the road for some memorable adventures outside of Howard County. Check out our Adventure, Nature & Outdoors section (page 6) for camps that take you around the area. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing and exploring nature.

Head to page 47 for our sports camps, where certified instructors teach campers the basics of different sports in a non-competitive setting with diverse activities to keep every day fresh and exciting. From baseball and basketball to the growing sports of badminton and rugby, we’ll provide all the know-how to make your experience in a chosen sport the best one yet!

If you like to plan for the summer during the winter, dozens of our camps offer an early bird special. Register by March 9 to receive 10% off the listed price. Many camps fill quickly, so don’t delay!

Concussion InformationWhat is a concussion?A concussion is a type of brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works. A concussion is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. Even what seems to be a mild blow to the head can be serious.

What are some warning signs of a concussion? — For Immediate Attention Call 911

What should you do if you think a concussion has occurred?1. Seek medical attention right away.

A health care professional will be able to decide how serious the concussion is and when it is safe to return to play.

2. Keep your child out of play until medically cleared. Concussions take time to heal. Don’t let your child return to play until a health care professional says it’s ok. Children who return to play too soon, while the brain is still healing, risk a greater chance of having a second concussion. Second or later concussions can be very serious. They can cause permanent brain damage, affecting your child for a lifetime.

3. Inform all coaches about any recent concussions. Coaches should know if your child has had a recent concussion. Your child’s coach may not know about a concussion your child received in another sport or activity unless you tell them.

4. Help your child return to sports safely after a concussion. As your child’s symptoms decrease, the extra help or support can be removed gradually. Children and teens who return to activities after a concussion may need to • Take rest breaks as needed • Spend fewer hours at activities • If in doubt, sit it out!

Signs Observed by a Parent/Guardian• Appears dazed or stunned• Is confused about assignment or position• Forgets sports plays• Is unsure of game, score, or opponent• Moves clumsily• Answers questions slowly• Loses consciousness (even briefly)• Shows behavior or personality changes• Can’t recall events prior to hit or fall• Can’t recall events after hit or fall

Signs Reported by the Athlete• Headache or “pressure” in the head• Nausea or vomiting• Balance problems or dizziness• Double or blurry vision• Sensitivity to light• Sensitivity to noise• Feeling sluggish, hazy, or groggy• Concentration or memory problems• Confusion• Does not "feel right"

Blandair FarmBlandair takes its name from Theodorick Bland, a colorful figure in early Maryland politics. He served as Chancellor of Maryland from 1824 until his death in 1846. While the property was farmed as early as 1798, most of the existing buildings date from the mid-19th century, and include a granary, a springhouse, some tenant houses and the brick main house. Howard County purchased the property in 1998 and plans to develop the site as a regional park. While public access to Blandair is limited during restoration, occasional heritage programs are held there. The farm was also the site of the 2003 International Preservation Trade Conference. 6651 Route 175, Columbia, MD 21044.

Bollman Truss BridgeThe Bollman Truss Bridge is the only known remaining example of the revolutionary all-iron truss system patented by Baltimore engineer Wendell Bollman in the mid-19th century. Constructed in 1869, the bridge was moved to its current site in 1888 and was in use until 1915. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2000, it is now utilized as a pedestrian bridge connecting Historic Savage Mill with the Mill Trail, a walk linking old mill sites along the Patuxent River. 8650 Foundry Street, Savage, MD 20763.

The building now houses a genealogical resource center and a museum chronicling the history of African Americans in Howard County.

Pfeiffer’s Corner SchoolhouseOriginally constructed about 1883, the Pfeiffer’s Corner Schoolhouse is one of the very few remaining one-room schools in Howard County. Restoration is now complete. Children were educated within its walls for over 50 years until it was converted into a residence in the 1940s. It was almost demolished when new homes were built on the property in the 1980s, but was saved through the efforts of local school children. They raised funds to have it moved in 1988 to county-owned parkland along route 108 near Clarksville, where it stood for several years until a permanent location could be found. In 2003, it was moved to Rockburn Branch Park where it illustrates the changes over a 100-year time span of our schools, serves as a historic exhibit and provides space for demonstration classes, interpretive tours and small meetings.6109 Rockburn Branch Park Road, Elkridge, MD 21227 (in Rockburn Branch Park).Info: 410-313-5131.

Where age or grade restrictions apply, “age” usually refers to the age of the participant at the start of the program and “grade” to current grade. If any other standards apply, they will be noted in the Guide. We reserve the right to question grade or age and may request a birth certificate or other proof of eligibility.

For many programs, registrants or parents/legal guardians of minor registrants will be required to provide a signed Participant Information form at the first meeting. The purpose of this form is to ensure that participants willingly share responsibility for their own safety. All activities contain certain inherent risks that each participant assumes. Due to the strenuous nature of some activities, each participant is urged to consult his or her physician concerning his or her fitness to participate. Please note that many programs will require confirmation that immunizations are current.

It is your responsibility to sign your child in at the beginning of the program and sign your child out immediately following the program. Staff are not responsible for your child before or after scheduled activities. A fee may be assessed if your child is not picked up at the close of the program.

Children must remain with the program for the full period scheduled. To leave before a day’s program is complete, a child must have written parental consent or the parent/legal guardian must pick the child up after notifying the program director.
