Macon-Bibb County Parks & Rec Summer Camp - Theron Ussery
Recreational summer day camp offering various activities for children at Theron Ussery Park.
▌ Editor's read The Macon-Bibb County Parks & Rec Summer Camp at Theron Ussery is a day camp program, as indicated by the 'Summer Camp' page on the maconbibb.us website. The camp is run by the Macon-Bibb County government, classifying it as a municipal parks owner type. The cost is explicitly stated as $30 per week, making it a very low-cost option for families (maconbibb.us/summercamps42922/). The website provides a general overview of activities such as 'games, arts & crafts, field trips, and more,' but lacks specific details on daily schedules or curriculum. There is no mention of ACA accreditation, nor is there any information regarding staff-to-camper ratios or background check policies for staff members on the provided URL. The Macon-Bibb County government has a Facebook page (@MaconBibbCounty) which occasionally posts about Parks & Rec events, but a dedicated camp social media presence is not evident. The website does not provide information on the camp's founding year or years of operation. The primary strength is its affordability and municipal backing, while a notable weakness is the scarcity of detailed program and safety information online.
