2022 Summer Camp

Each summer McGinnis Woods Country Day School offers an exciting Alpharetta summer camp program in the Alpharetta, Johns Creek and Cumming, GA area. The summer camp is available to both McGinnis Woods and others. Go to summer camp forms »

The curriculum for each summer is planned by a committee of teachers from our school to ensure that the program is fun, active, and educational. Children enjoy a wide variety of activities including both outside physical activities and creative indoor play. All campers will take an exciting field trip each week, using McGinnis Woods Country Day School buses. Every seat on every school bus has a seat belt. Guest speakers and active campus theme days round out each week.

Specialty Camps*

This summer, as a portion of our summer camp, we will be offering several specific specialty camps. These camps will be a chance for kids to have fun learning more about a subject they enjoy in a focused, one week camp. They will run from 9:30 – 11:00 each day for a week. These will be hosted by the teachers of McGinnis Woods.

*Please complete a camp registration form to register for specialty camps. Campers signing up only for the specialty camp will not participate in field trips.

McGinnis Woods Country Day School facilities include a new sport court, a turf field, multiple playground areas, and a mini-rock climbing volcano.

Junior and Senior Camp programs are available for children 4 – 13 years. The themes change each summer.
