There are so many great summer camps across Georgia that will let your kids experience summer vacation the way it’s supposed to be: outside, with lots of chances to play, get dirty, and explore. Plus, they’ll learn a ton about science and the natural world — and their own abilities. Here is our master list, organized by region. Please click through for more info and to see if it’s the right program for your child.
As a special giveaway for our readers, we have a $50 gift certificate for the TreesAtlanta Junior TreeKeeper Spring Break Camp, April 4-8!
