Frazer Center Summer Camp

Thursday, June 19, 2014

To finish up my second installment of summer camps around Atlanta, I headed over to the Frazer Center near downtown. The Frazer Center offered an inclusion camp which allows special needs children to play and interact side by side with kids that do not have any disabilities. It was a warm June day so the campers were treated to playing with water outside as counselors chased them around with a hose. Screams and laughter echoed across the courtyard as the children ran through the spray. Other campers opted for a little less active afternoon as they played games inside and listened to stories told by some of the counselors.

My next installment will be in a couple of weeks and will feature some not so typical sports camps. Stay tuned!
