TIFTON — 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,” Kelly Scott, the museum’s assistant director, said. “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- to 6-year-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 to 8 a.m. and pick-up from noon to 12:30 p.m. The cost of each camp is $75 and includes a snack, T-shirt and all supplies.
Camps also are available for Explorer campers ages 7 to 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 to 8 a.m. and pick-up from 3 to 3:30 p.m. The cost of each camp is $120 and includes a snack, 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 to 8 a.m. and pick-up from 3 to 3:30 p.m. The cost per camper is $120 and includes a snack, T-shirt and supplies.
Anyone interested in more information on Camp Wiregrass can contact Scott at (229) 391-5221. Further information can be found at gma.abac.edu/education/camp-wiregrass/. Registration for all sessions of Camp Wiregrass can be completed online at abacgma.eventbrite.com.
