Chattanooga summer fun: day camps for Chattanooga’s kids

It is hard to believe that the last day of classes for Hamilton County Schools is next Tuesday. Lots of parents will be wondering what to do with their children, to keep their minds and bodies active during the warmest months of the year.

One summer my mom scheduled my sisters and me for lots of day camp sessions through the local parks and recreation. I took photography, drama, and tennis. My sisters did pottery.

Day camps keep kids busy, helps stretch their minds, and maybe lets them experience something that they don’t get during the school year. Or they are able to focus specifically on something they want to get better at before going back to school in August.

Chattanooga offers several day camps around the city. There should be no trouble finding something for your kids to do.
