1st Annual Savannah Youth Camp A Success

Savannah Youth Camp was held at the Eisenhower Armory from July 8th - 11th.   Campers enjoyed a wide variety of experiential learning opportunities with other #MilKids from across the state.

​Telfair Museum Tour + Art Project

Savannah Youth Camp teamed up with the Telfair Museum in Savannah. Telfair staff hosted a crafting activity where youth participants made their own 'Lantern Art'.  This art would mimic one of the main pieces displayed at the museum, which participants viewed first-hand during their personal tour.

The lantern piece was not the only feature of the Museum as there were many interactive elements for our young participants!   After the tour campers got to eat lunch on the beautiful Telfair Square lawn.  

Drones with Starbase Warner Robbins

Savannah Youth Camp also teamed up with Starbase in Warner Robbins.  Starbase Staff instructed students on how to fly drones through difficult courses as well as playing a drone Tic-Tac-Toe game.

Campers Learn Horticulture

Campers earned their "Green-Thumb" planting various flowers and fruit plants.  Campers were able to decorate their own pots and research the various care methods for a wide variety of plants. 

​Explore Music with Trolls 2 the Movie

Campers were able to enjoy a movie at the local NCG Cinema in Savannah for their 'Summer Movie Series'.  Campers each got snack packs and were able to lounge in their reclinable seats.  Trolls 2 was a fun movie that offered a wide variety of musical medleys.

Campers Visit UGA Marine Education Center & Aquarium

Campers visited the UGA Aquarium which showcased marine life local to South Georgia.  The aquarium also featured an interactive experience where campers learned proper handling techniques for various species.  

Hike at the Jay Wolf Nature Trail

Campers hiked the beautiful Jay Wolf Nature Trail in Savannah, GA.  The trail included various Cacti plants, trees and wildlife local to South Georgia.  Youth also got to show off their custom made Tie-die shirts made earlier during camp.
