CAMP PEACHTREE
Sponsored by Peachtree Academy Private School
Camp Peachtree has kicked off the summer with a SPLASH--- And that's no joke!!
Our onsite Water Park is opening this week! It's going to be hot this summer and we want to keep all our children and campers cool and hydrated. Peachtree Academy has its very own water park onsite, which is enjoyed by our early childhood children, summer campers and teachers. It's a great way to spend the afternoon, or even the mornings before it gets too hot. Children must wear swimsuit and sunscreen, drink plenty of water, wear water shoes and bring a towel in order to enjoy the water park with their friends.
Summer camp students (Pre-K - 8th grade) will be divided into the following 5 groups:
Bold Barracudas (3rd-4th), ROARING LIONS (Pre-K), Mighty Panthers (5th-8th), Courageous Cougars (1st-2nd), and the Blazing Dragons (K). As we prepare for field trips each week, we will try our best to make signing your children up for field trips as painless as possible. There are state laws that we must adhere to, so there may be times that you might wonder if we know what we are doing. Please be patient! The first week, or so of summer camp is always a little crazy as things get going. But, it is going to be a GREAT summer at Camp Peachtree and we are so glad you are here!!
Vacation Bible School is here!! Tra-La, Tra-La, Tra-La!
Vacation Bible School is here! The children sing enthusiastically as they shout out those familiar words. We are so excited once again to join Rockdale Baptist Church for their fabulous summer VBS program. The campers always enjoy going to Bible School to meet new friends, learn more about God, enjoy creative craft projects and more. The rest of the VBS chorus says, "In God's own house we like to be; a happy, busy band are we. Vacation Bible School is here, Tra-La, Tra-La, Tra-La." Some of our most favorite childhood memories are of the exciting days at Vacation Bible School during the summer months. Something about that memory warms our hearts, as we remember how, as a child, our hearts were stirred by this fun, relaxed and exciting worship experience every summer.
We will leave the campus to go to VBS each morning at 8:30 AM. Please be prompt! Or, if you would like to meet us at the church, please notify us so that we can make arrangements for their transportation back to the school.

Do you have a middle schooler? Are they already bored? Nothing to do? Not quite old enough to leave them alone yet?
Why do parents choose CAMP PEACHTREE for their children? Because they know it will be safe and it will be a summer that their child will never forget!
About our camp...
School is out, but let's not rob our children of the opportunity, or the need that they have to interact with their classmates and teachers on a more relaxed, safe and fun level. You ask why? Throughout the summer months our campers learn the importance of teamwork, problem solving, proper social behavior, practicing good hygiene, strong and positive character building, and so much more. We have a stellar team of counselors and leaders for your children that you will grow to love and appreciate as you get to know them. And we all have your child's best interest at heart! So, don't worry about whether or not they are having a fun summer, or whether or not they might be losing some of the reading, math and language art skills that they learned during the school year, or even whether or not they are completely safe in their environment. SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO CAMP PEACHTREE! Call today! 770-860-8900 Or email vpresley@peachtreeacademy.com.
So, although a visit with grandparents, or other family members during the summer is certainly important, encouraged, in fact, and lots of fun, children still need to have more, in order for them to be fully prepared for school in the fall. Let your children spend time with family, or friends this summer, but sign them up for camp too. Students need to have a continued degree of regiment in their lives during the summer, so that when they return to school, their adjustment period will be greatly reduced. They need to have continued social interaction with their friends in the summer time. Give them the opportunity to learn and strengthen the life skills that we will be teaching daily during summer camp at Peachtree Academy.
