Planning for your child’s summer vacation can be challenging, especially when you have a full-time job. Instead of your little one staying cooped up in the house, why not enroll them in a summer camp? It’s already a little late to be finding a summer activity for your kids, but there are still some great options right here around the metro.
Here are seven summer camps around Atlanta that still have openings available. Act fast!

The Dunwoody Nature Center offers half-day camps for ages 3.5-4 and full-day camps for K-5th graders.
