Registration Open for Camp Wiregrass
Wednesday, April 24th, 2024
Registration is open for Camp Wiregrass, a series of educational summer camps hosted by Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College’s Georgia Museum of Agriculture.
Children from 5 to 12 years old will experience a variety of adventures when they explore agriculture, history, natural resources, and STEM through fun, interactive day camps.
“Spots are filling up quickly, so we are encouraging parents to register and secure a spot,” said Kelly Scott, the Museum’s Assistant Director.“ The Museum provides an amazing backdrop, allowing us to offer camps that are not just exciting and hands-on for children, but also educational.”
Scott said that registration for each camp will close the week prior to the session. But since most camps fill quickly, she said it’s a good idea to register well in advance.
For the Munchkin campers in the 5-6 years old age range, “Season’s Greetings” runs from May 28-31 while “Cotton & Chickens & Cows, Oh My!” takes place June 11-14. Both camps run from 8 a.m. to noon each day with drop off from 7:30-8 a.m. and pick up from noon-12:30 p.m. The cost of each camp is $75 and includes a snack, a T-shirt, and all supplies.
Camps are also available for Explorer campers ages 7-9 years old. “Sail the High Seas” is scheduled for June 3-7 while “Exploring Space” will be held June 24-28. Each camp runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with drop off from 7:30-8 a.m. and pick up from 3-3:30 p.m. The cost of each camp is $120 and includes a snack, a T-shirt, and supplies.
“The Ultimate Game Show” is a camp for 10- to 12-year-olds scheduled for July 8-12. This camp runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with drop off from 7:30-8 a.m. and pick up from 3-3:30 p.m. The cost per camper is $120 and includes a snack, a T-shirt, and supplies.
