I found a summer camp for A.J. at an Atlanta preschool we’re considering. It’s a little further than I’m used to driving, but it’s budget-friendly and he can attend for an entire week. There are a few more camps I’m looking at for a week to week basis before we make a decision for the Fall.

Here are three more last minute summer camp ideas, besides the ones I listed in the video.

1. Indoor play spaces.  Sensations Therafun is an indoor activity center in Atlanta with attention to special needs and learning differences. It offers sports camps and drop-off opportunities year-round.
2. Art and music schools. I’ve noticed an increase in art and music schools that have summer camp opportunities. Some allow you to register per day or per week. Location sponsor, the Main Street School of Art in Downtown Tucker offers art summer camps.
3. Museums and aquariums. History centers, museums and aquariums offer summer camp options, usually starting at elementary school age. The Georgia Aquarium has an H20 Summer Camp for members and non-member. There’s even a special needs camp option.
