Testimonials

See what camper parents had said about their camper's experience here at our Center!

”

My camper had a very positive experience. Not every camp is a good fit for him, but this camp was perfect. He enjoys learning about history, in particular military history, and he came home excited to share the new things he had learned. He also really enjoyed the STEM components, and was very proud to bring home his creations at the end of the week and show us how they work.

Each afternoon [our son] gave a spirited report on his camp adventures. His smiles, excitement and enthusiasm were evidence of how much fun he had building upon his knowledge on the topics covered. He especially loved sharing his passion for military history and building bonds with other kids about it. As his parents, we are grateful for those who created and executed this camp with intention. The curriculum and activities were engaging and thoughtfully structured. It was clear that the kids had a unique experience every day. This camp exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you!!!

Why is camp limited to rising 4th, 5th, and 6th graders?

We recognize elementary Social Studies teachers have limited time during the school year to cover their standards due to other demands. As we cover many Tennessee and Georgia 4th and 5th grade Social Studies standards during our field trip offerings, we decided a camp for rising 4th, 5th, and 6th graders might help support classroom teachers before the school year begins, help students expand on previous learning, and allow curious campers a chance to engage with history in a unique way.
