CALVERT COUNTY, Md. – Calvert County Parks & Recreation (CCPR) invites the community to celebrate Park and Recreation Month this July, an initiative of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). The parks and natural recreation areas in Calvert County constitute valuable community resources and offer a location for people of all ages to embrace the outdoors.
To help celebrate this year’s theme “Where Community Grows”, the public is invited to share photos and testimonials of how their families have grown with CCPR. From sports teams to summer camps, and pool days to walks on our nature trails, we want to hear the array of ways your family has been part of Calvert County Parks & Recreation through the years. To share, please send a message and photo via Facebook Messenger or by email to specialevents@calvertcountymd.com. Submitted stories may be shared on CCPR social media pages throughout July.
