There are three options for summer camp offered through the Marlboro Recreation Department. Each camp runs Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

A teen travel camp is for seventh and eighth grade students (during the 2015-16 school year). The five-week camp will visit water parks, amusement parks, sporting events, include tubing on the Delaware River and visits to the beach. The camp runs from June 27 to July 29.

The summer day camp and a theater camp run in two three-week sessions from June 27 to July 15 and from July 18 to Aug. 5. The day camp is for children who were in kindergarten through the sixth grade during the 2015-16 school year. The camp is held at Marlboro schools.

The theater camp is for children between the fourth and eighth grades during the 2015-16 school year. The camp is for children who may wish to pursue singing, dance and other styles of art, as well as for children why may want to pursue behind-the-scenes work such as lighting, sound and set design. Camp activities will take place at the Marlboro High School auditorium.
