Design an Ad is a program where we pair local businesses with local middle and high school classrooms throughout Frederick County to create ads for the advertisers. Students are challenged to use their creativity, logic and critical thinking skills to design a winning ad, while local business owners demonstrate their commitment to the education of Frederick County students by purchasing ad space for which the students design an advertisement. Through the competition, students learn the importance of advertising for businesses and for newspapers. The students learn the aspects of designing an effective ad by writing a clear message, understanding deadlines and learning what the elements of an effective ad should be.

STUFF TO DO
Take the Summer Challenge
FCPL Invites You to Explore, Invent, Transform YOUR Story Virtual Fun
TO
keep customers and staff safe during these difficult times, Frederick County Public Libraries had no choice but to close its doors in March. Despite that challenge, Frederick County residents have flocked to the Library’s website and social media platforms, enjoying a wide array of online offerings. Something as simple as a library card can be used to access ebooks, audiobooks, music and movies. For community members without cards, the FCPL website even allows new users to acquire a “digital card” granting full access to the expanded online collection. FCPL’s efforts to serve the community with an enhanced virtual presence have also extended to online experiences. While virtual storytimes offered Monday-Friday at 10 a.m. have been particularly popular, staff members have been impressed with how readily the public has embraced the Library’s move to digital. According to Community Services Manager Bryan Hissong, “We’re seeing a fantastic response to our online content, all of which can be viewed on FCPL social media platforms or on fcpl.org. Whether they’re singing along in daily storytimes or watching fun experiments in our Kitchen Science series, the community certainly enjoys the content we’re creating and sharing. We’re so pleased FCPL is able to continue to connect with the community despite the distance.” Library staff has even been working to revamp their highly popular Summer Challenge program as well. According to Youth Services Manager Janet Vogel, “Summer Challenge is our largest program at FCPL, and we are excited to bring it to the community each year! 34

Participants of all ages – from babies to seniors in retirement – enjoy activities that foster lifelong learning. We are grateful to all of the partners who make the program possible.” For years, FCPL’s Summer Challenge has encouraged community members and families to read, explore their neighborhoods and engage with others in a meaningful way. This summer, in addition to adding even more great activities, the challenge is offering a social-distancing friendly, all-online option. From June 1 to Aug. 31, participants of all ages can earn points and win prizes by reading, completing game board activities, enjoying an enhanced roster of online programs and performances, and visiting community destinations both virtually and in person. Printable game boards will be available via fcpl.org, and participants will be able to log their reading and activities online or by using the Beanstack app. For the first time, this year’s challenge allows patrons to choose prizes by offering virtual tickets that can be placed in the prize drawing of the entrant’s choice. Despite the space separating county residents, FCPL is working hard to bridge the distance, spark excitement and bring the community together. More information, along with access to all FCPL’s digital resources and online experiences, is available at fcpl.org.

Visit a Garden
Public gardens are institutions that maintain collections of plants that can provide education and enjoyment to the public, according to the American Public Gardens Association website, and some can be found in Frederick County. Public gardens are staffed by professionals trained in their given areas of expertise and maintain active plant records systems, according to publicgardens.org. High Glen Gardens is a 64-acre private estate at the base of the Catoctin Mountains. It has approximately 10 acres of formal gardens arranged into garden rooms, including a large perennial border, rose garden, annual beds, koi pond, greenhouse, Japanese garden, Mediterranean garden and English cottage garden, according to publicgarderns.com. There are also perimeter plantings and open fields, as well as newly restored natural areas that include a wetland and upland meadow. In 2013, High Glen Gardens developed a new master plan to guide the evolution of the entire property. It is developing several new gardens as part of this plan, including a grand allee of bur oaks, an earth sculpture of warm season grasses and a woodland reforestation project. While not open to the general public, group tours are available and can be arranged by invitation. High Glen Gardens is located at 6450 Christophers Crossing, Frederick, MD 21702.

Spend a Day on the River
There are plenty of water sports available in the Frederick area. Frederick County offers two rivers on which families can spend a day tubing, water skiing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, or just plain hanging out on a riverbank. The Monocacy River dumps into the Potomac River at the Monocacy Aqueduct. The Monocacy River is a left tributary for the Potomac. The Potomac River, a natural border between Maryland and Virginia, runs west to east, from the Washington County line to the Montgomery County line. Kayaking is popular along these waterways. The peak of the water sport season typically is during the spring and summer
months. Hundreds of boaters, tubers and kayakers can be seen taking on the challenging waters during this time. Frederick offers the Monocacy Scenic River Water Trail, a 41.8-mile of water trail along the Monocacy River that offers a diverse mix of opportunities for paddlers of all levels. The trail has been divided into three segments, but visitors can make their trips shorter or longer according to their time and ability. The sections break down as follows: SECTION 1: Maryland Route 77-Rocky Ridge to Devilbiss Bridge SECTION 2: Devilbiss Bridge to Gambrill Mill SECTION 3: Gambrill Mill to the Monocacy Boat Ramp The C&O Canal Towpath follows the Potomac River all the way to Washington, ending near Roosevelt Island. In addition to water sports, the towpath offers hikers and bikers the chance to follow the river. Overnight camping areas may be available as well.
Hike the Appalachian Trail
The Appalachian Trail winds through Maryland for 41 miles, and the first stretch from the south travels through the southwestern part of Frederick County. Hikers can expect a moderate hike
through the area, as they transverse through Gathland State Park, near the small town of Burkittsville. Throughout the state, elevation never exceeds 1,880 feet. Much of the trail snakes through Washington County, but it does hook back west of Catoctin Mountain Park, part of the U.S. National Park Service. Those interested in traveling the trail should follow one of the Mid-Atlantic Trail Clubs, including the Mountain Club of Maryland and the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club. The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club has a map of cabins posted along the trail, including ones in the region: Bear Spring at Gathland Park; Highacre near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia; Catoctin Hollow Ridge and Olive Green near Catoctin Mountain Park. A popular spot along the trail is the Washington Monument State Park, right on the Frederick and Washington County borders. It is the first part to dedicate a monument to George Washington—the 40-foot structure was built in 1827, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The entire Appalachian Trail is 2,190 miles long, and typically takes five to seven months to complete. For more information, visit appalachiantrail.com.

(and experience a waterfall.)
From the beautiful overlooks and refreshing open-sky campsites on Catoctin Mountain to the north, or the equally impressive open space of Gambrill State Park, Frederick County can be an outdoor lovers’ paradise. Technically a ridge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Catoctin Mountain is mostly encompassed within the Catoctin Mountain Park, a roughly 8 square-mile national park with approximately 25 miles of hiking trails running past its various peaks and vistas, including the iconic Chimney Rock, and similarly impressive Wolf Rock, with a spectacular vista overlooking Thurmont elsewhere on the loop. There’s a visitor center at 14707 Park Central Road in Thurmont. The park features five campgrounds, including one open year-round for reservations, as well as several three-sided log structures called Adirondack shelters available for hikers and campers. Immediately south of the national park is Cunningham Falls State Park, which

offers not only a diverse array of hiking trails for adventurers of every ability level, but also the park’s namesake waterfall, the state’s largest cascading waterfall. Both Catoctin Mountain Park and Cunningham Falls State Park are on the mid-to-northern end of one of the county’s more arduous hiking trails, the Catoctin National Recreational Trail. Running a total of 26.6 miles, the trail connects Gambrill State Park to the northernmost edge of Catoctin Mountain Park. For more, see nps.gov/cato.
