Spring Break Camps
Believe it or not, it’s not too late for spring break camps — these businesses allow you to register for single days or partial weeks. Availability is limited!
Jitterbug Performing Arts. Open for campers aged 3 (if potty trained) – 12 years old, with options for 9am – 1pm or 9am – 4pm camps. Jitterbug offers maximum flexibility and allows you to sign up for a single day, or all 5 days of camp. Throughout the day Jitterbug campers will sing, dance, play acting games, create props & scenery, and prepare for their spectacular performance! During the production hours at camp (1-4pm), Jitterbugs do a little “behind the scenes” work to create additional props, and scenery, learn about lighting & sound, costume design & other “techy” fun in addition to more stage time and imagination games!
Vinings School of Art. For ages 5 – 14, divided into 3 age groups. Camp is from 9am – 3:30pm with optional early drop off and/or late pick up if arranged in advance. Camps are educational, creative and fun, and each day is different.
Mable House Art Camp. For ages 6 – 12 and running from 9am – 3pm. Mixed media, drawing, painting, clay and more!
Champion Kids. For ages 2.5 and older, camp runs from 9am – 1pm. You have the option of selecting the full week, or a shorter 3 day option.
