Summer time is here! Some of the fondest childhood memories take place at a summer camp. Whether it's an overnight camp or a day camp, it's a great place to meet new friends and try new things! We chose the very best camps in our area to spotlight in this year's Summer Camp Directory! Click on the icons below to see more information about each camp! Some camps still have a few openings, so make your reservations today! Don't forget to tell them you heard about their camps and classes through the DNJC Macaroni Kid!!

Summer Academy @ UGA

Get your teen prepared for college life!
The University of Georgia’s Pre-College Summer Program gives rising juniors and seniors a two-week introduction to life on UGA’s Athens campus.  Your college-aspiring teen will experience campus life and learn what it takes to succeed in college classes.  The agenda is intellectually rigorous and enlightening, with classes, workshops, assignments, field trips, and leisure-time options. In addition, your teen will get a head start on important independent living skills, such as budgeting and time management.  Two students share a dorm room in gender-separate wings.  Resident Advisors are on hand to provide academic and personal support. Check out this terrific program at UGAPreCollege.com.

 Southeastern Railway Museum

The theme for 2013 is "Trains through Time!". Your child (aged 4-12) will learn about many railroad inventions and how trains changed throughout time while exploring over 50 historic trains. Each day your child will learn about trains and railroading during a different time in history, make a railroad craft, and do related railroad activities. He will even ride in a real caboose!
