Clayton County Conservation presents the 2024 summer camp schedule. New this year is the River Rats Day Camps which are geared towards older youth ages 10-15 years old. Each camp will focus on a different theme for a full day of outdoor exploration and environmental awareness. Activities will include hiking, beginner paddling, games and more. Nature Kids Day Camps are full-day outdoor programs for children ages 6-10. Each camp will focus on a different theme, but all campers will get a chance to search for wildlife, make crafts, go on hikes, and hone their nature awareness skills while exploring the parks of Clayton County. Motor Mill S.T.E.A.M. camps are a fun filled day exploring historic Motor Mill. Participants will discover the connections between science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and art with nature. This day camp is open to ages 6-12 years old. Another new camp for families this year is Family Camping 101. Participants will learn all the steps to camping. Camp organizers will supply everything needed and provide instruction on how to set up a family camp site, start a fire, cook over the fire, and more.
