# Campser

> A directory of summer camps, after-school programs, and youth enrichment
> activities in the Washington, DC region. Every published listing is checked
> against the provider's own website and carries the date it was checked.

## What this site is

Campser helps parents compare camps by location, child's age, activity type,
schedule, and price. It does not take bookings or payments — every listing links
to the provider's official registration page.

## Coverage as of July 14, 2026

- 1,399 camp sessions from 243 providers
- 1,353 verified at session level; the remainder verified at provider level
- Areas: Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, Bethesda, MD, Chevy Chase, MD, and nearby communities
- 44 city and regional guides, 12 activity categories
- Programs for ages 2 to 19
- Published tuition ranges from $76 to $6,120

## How listings are verified

Campser reads the provider's own public camp or registration page, records
dates, ages, price, and location as the provider states them, and stores the
source URL alongside the date of the check. Listings whose evidence is stale,
ambiguous, or missing are withheld rather than published with a caveat.

Campser does not publish star ratings or aggregate review scores — there is no
first-party review data, and an invented rating would be worse than none. Prices
are shown only where the provider publishes one; deposits, registration fees,
and extended-care charges are excluded from published prices.
