Campers create and make fun gadgets and toys during the Makers Workshop week! We'll meet local creators, try some new building activities, and investigate how things work. On Fridays, we welcome families to celebrate our learning at Showcase! Each week, campers study one Georgia State Standard and go on an in-depth learning journey, the product of which we display at Showcase. Please sign your camper up by their age group; we welcome rising kindergarten all the way up to 6th grade!
