All summer 2022 camps are in-person and will take place at our Atlanta History Center’s Buckhead campus, 130 West Paces Ferry Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30305.
Atlanta History Center is offering history and writing camps this summer.
There are several options for campers to enjoy during these four weeks of camps! History camp themes vary from the ancient world to the history of space, and writing campus themes range from basic writing skills to learning how to write fictional and fantastical story worlds.

To keep guests and campers safe, camp sessions will include the following safety protocols:
Face Coverings
Although masks are not required, we strongly encourage participants to wear them based on their individual comfort levels.
Frequent Hand-Washing Breaks
In addition to hand-washing after each activity and bathroom break, parents must provide campers with a personal hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizer stations will also be available throughout the campus.
Limited Capacity
Camp sessions will have a maximum of 15 campers with one instructor per camp.
Regular Cleanings
Areas of heavy contact (tables, doorknobs, supplies, chairs, etc.) will be disinfected frequently throughout the day.
Health Monitoring
If a child has been in contact with anyone who is presumed positive or has tested positive for COVID-19, parents must inform Atlanta History Center immediately, and the camper will not be permitted to attend camp. If any child expresses or exhibits symptoms of illness, they will be immediately isolated and parents will be contacted for pick-up. If any camper tests positive for COVID-19, all campers will be sent home and the camp will be closed until further notice.
Under Georgia law, there is no liability for an injury or death of an individual entering these premises if such and injury or death results from the inherent risks of contracting COVID-19. You are assuming this risk by entering these premises.
