Offering STEAM-Inspired Camp Sessions
The Friends School of Atlanta is pleased to once again hold its STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mat) inspired summer camp program on campus for June and July of 2022. Staffed by experienced teachers, camp sessions will be offered for children ages 5-14, and each session will run for a week. FSA will also provide an aftercare option for those families looking to extend their day until 6:00 pm.
Regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, The Friends School of Atlanta Summer Camp Program plans to implement all of the recommendations of the CDC: CDC Summer Camp Recommendation. Our intention is to create an environment that is fun, safe and nurturing. Until the incidence of Covid-19 recedes to safe levels per the CDC and other public health officials, we will continue to implement the most current safety protocols related to daily health screenings, masks, physical distancing, regular hand hygiene and sanitation of facilities. Families should keep campers home if they are sick and should report any illnesses to the Camp Director during a camper’s enrollment in camp.

Watch for Information on Critter Camp!
The Amphibian Foundation, which is a separate organization from FSA, is proud to be returning to the FSA Campus for its 8th year of Critter Camp!
Critter Camp is an exciting science-based look into the world of reptiles and amphibians. We introduce campers to the incredible biodiversity of amphibians and reptiles using tropical as well as native Georgia species to illustrate aspects of biology and conservation. Critter Camp is a safe, hands-on experience where campers get to touch and hold the amazing animals they are learning about. Join us this summer!
Critter Camp will also provide an aftercare option for those families looking to extend their day until 6:00pm.
