The DeKalb County parks department is hosting a winter break day camp for two weeks starting Dec. 24.

For most children, the highlight of their winter break is opening gifts.

But, if you’re looking for a bit more creative stimulation, the DeKalb County Recreation, Parks and Cultural Affairs is offering a winter break day camp with recreational and art activities for children between the ages of 5 and 12.
