Please send your camper with lunch and at least two (2) snacks each day. Your camper will be using a lot of energy to participate in camp, so remember that they may be more hungry than normal!

Elementary Campers are children who are entering Kindergarten through entering 6th Grade. Campers must be at least 5 years old on or before September 1,2025.
Specialty Campers are children who are entering 4th- 8th grade.
Creek days will be held on Thursday and Friday of each camp week. Occasionally, circumstances necessitate that we cancel Creek Day. Your child does not need to know how to swim to participate in creek or water play. Water in most areas of the creek is no higher than ankle deep.
To provide appropriate staffing structures, we are unfortunately not able to accommodate friend requests. Campers who are close in age and/or grade are often grouped together or have the opportunity to participate in joint activities throughout the day.
While we work hard to make our camp atmosphere inclusive we want to ensure that we are able to provide the best experience possible. Please email the Camp Director sam@elachee.org or call 770-535-1976 ext. 223 to discuss options if your child has special needs or medical conditions.
Refunds or cancellations will be issued until May 23, 2025. Any requests for refunds received May 23, 2025 or later will require a doctor’s note. Transfers to other camp weeks will be permitted as space allows. Requests for transferred weeks must be made 10 or more business days before the start of the new camp week. This policy will allow us to ensure proper notice for our families on waitlists for this summer.
