Kidcam Camp is excited to return to the campus of Middle Georgia State University's Health & Wellness Rec Center this summer as we celebrate 50 years of amazing summer camp memorites, friendships & traditions. But who/what is a Kidcam Camp and why is it right for the children (and parents) of Middle Georgia?
Kidcam Camps is one of the most trusted name brands in day camp programs for children ages 5-13, and camp isn’t just something they do, it’s ALL they do...for almost 50 years operating camps in premier, partner facilities And through long-standing traditions and values, Kidcam works year-round to bring the Spirit of Summer to life by creating memorable moments and lasting relationships all through the power of camp.
Kidcam partners with premier facilities in local cities across the southeast to create great, safe summer camps for children. The programs offer different weekly themes that incorporate the best of the facilities where they operate to build a welcoming, safe, and supportive summer program where every child is treasured for what makes him or her unique. Kidcam campers are made to feel that they are a part of something truly special and stay fully engaged in daily activities and programs through Kidcam’s unique curriculum of STEM, sports, arts, movement, water play, life skills, and long-standing traditions that create memorable moments and lasting relationships.
Campers at MGA, Macon will not just participate in sports, arts, STEM and life skill programs, but they will also enjoy swimming 4 days a week in a controlled group setting that’s safe for them but also ensures they still have a blast at camp and exercise their body and mind. In addition to these activities, camp is based in the Recreation and Wellness Center with more camp favorites including: song and dance competitions, board & card games, special performances, talent shows, counselor competitions, group games and more.
Kidcam is accredited through the American Camp Association and provide parents the option to schedule only the weeks they need camp with extended hours, the option to buy lunch and snacks, highly trained staff, and the opportunity to enjoy all the amazing offerings that make MGA, Macon special.
This isn’t just any day camp. It’s a Kidcam Camp where Summer ROCKS!
