Field Trips 2025

This summer, campers will enjoy weekly field trips to either the Gwinnett County pool or Sparkles in Lawrenceville!

Pool Trips:
Safety is our top priority. Lifeguards will be on duty, and life jackets are available (you may bring your own if preferred). Small children and non-swimmers will stay on the splash pad, wearing life jackets, with a 5:1 camper-to-staff ratio for ages 6 and under.

Skating Trips:
At Sparkles, campers will receive skates and a slice of pizza. Optional activities, such as the video arcade and indoor playground, are available for an additional fee. Older campers (4th–6th grade) can enjoy laser tag. Non-skaters will have access to skate guards or rails, and helmets are welcome.

A detailed itinerary and field trip schedule will be provided each week.
