Your camp guide to Decatur’s best school break experiences
All stories written by Michael J. Pallerino
Summer camp is more than just a way to keep kids busy when school lets out; it’s a place where young minds expand, confidence grows and hidden talents emerge. Whether it’s a child discovering a love for the arts, engaging in sensory play and social skill-building or getting into the water for the first time, camps provide opportunities for growth that extend far beyond the summer.
In our special series, Decatur Living & Beyond explores how summer camps serve as dynamic learning environments, helping kids develop resilience, teamwork and problem-solving skills in ways that traditional classrooms often cannot. Through hands-on experiences and guided exploration, campers learn to embrace challenges, collaborate with peers and build the self-assurance needed to navigate an ever-changing world. These experiences don’t just fill the summer—they shape the future.
Join us as we dive into the transformative power of summer camps and the lifelong benefits they bring to the children who attend them.
