Who thrives here Ages 6–18

Therapeutics Camp is built for middle-school campers — an age where leadership tracks, deeper specialization, and identity exploration take over from generalist day-camp formats. specialty programs that thrive at this age publish a clear weekly progression rather than a rotating activity menu, and the staff-to-camper conversation usually matters more than the activity list.

Frequently asked about Therapeutics Camp

Therapeutics Camp is open to children ages 6–18. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.
How much does Therapeutics Camp cost?
Therapeutics Camp publishes $35/week for the standard session. That sits 91% below the $400 median for specialty camps in Atlanta, which makes it one of the more affordable options in the category. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
What are Therapeutics Camp's hours?
Therapeutics Camp runs 7:30 AM - 6:00 PM. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.
Who runs Therapeutics Camp?
Therapeutics Camp is operated by the local parks department. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.
Does Therapeutics Camp provide lunch?
Therapeutics Camp does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
