The first part of the 2018-19 school year has flown by. For DeKalb County schools, the first break of the year begins later this week.
Fall break for DeKalb schools begins Oct. 4 and runs through Oct. 8, giving kids three days off from school. What will your kids do while they’re home? Hopefully they don’t wreck the house.
Luckily, for parents who can’t take off work to watch their kids during fall break, the county is offering a solution. The county’s recreation, parks and cultural affairs department will host a fall break mini camp for students ages 5 to 12.

The camp costs $10 per student per day, which runs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 4, 5 and 8. Campers must provide their own breakfast, lunch and snack. Students will participate in a variety of recreational and art activities during the camps.
