Winter Break Camp Atlanta

Josh Powell Camp is Atlanta's premier winter break camp, located in Acworth, GA — just 30 minutes north of Atlanta. We offer convenient bus pickup from three locations across metro Atlanta (Trinity Presbyterian on Moores Mill Rd, Kairos Church at I-285 & Riverside, and Roswell Cultural Arts Center) or you can drive directly to our scenic 30-acre campus at 5242 Wade Green Rd NW, Acworth, GA 30102.

Unlike indoor winter break camps, Josh Powell Camp gets kids outside for real outdoor adventure — even in December! We've been Atlanta's trusted winter camp for over 50 years, offering activities like archery, pony rides, hayrides, a petting zoo, and even a visit from Santa. Our experienced teacher-led staff and 30-acre outdoor campus make us the best winter break camp in Atlanta.

Our goal is to make winter break camp affordable for every Atlanta family. We offer flexible pricing for our winter camp at $100/day for 2-5 day camps.

Bus pickup is included from three Atlanta-area locations, or you can drive to our Acworth campus.

Kids aged 5-10 are welcome at our Atlanta winter break camp! Josh Powell Camp is the ideal place for your students to learn and have fun during December, whether this is their first winter camp or they're seasoned adventurers. We group kids by age to ensure age-appropriate activities and friend-making opportunities.

We're located at 5242 Wade Green Rd NW, Acworth, GA 30102 — a scenic 30-acre campus just 30 minutes from Atlanta. We offer daily bus pickup and drop-off from two convenient locations:

• Trinity Presbyterian Church — 3003 Moores Mill Rd NW, Atlanta

• Kairos Church — I-285 & Riverside Dr, Atlanta

You can also drive directly to our Acworth campus if that's more convenient.

Safety is our top priority at Josh Powell's winter break camp. Our counselors are college students and elementary school teachers who have all passed thorough background checks and been trained to supervise campers. We maintain low camper-to-counselor ratios and follow all safety protocols for outdoor activities.

If you have specific questions about allergies, medications, or other health concerns for your child during winter camp, email us at Hey@JoshPowellCamp.com and we'll be happy to help!

Absolutely! If you have any questions about our winter camp facilities and what a day in your student's life will look like at camp, we encourage you to schedule a tour. Text the camp office at (678) 369-0780 and we'll be happy to show you around our 30-acre Acworth campus.

For winter camp, we recommend your child bring:

• Weather-appropriate clothing (layers are great for December!)

• Closed-toe shoes (sneakers or hiking boots)

• Water bottle

• Packed lunch and snacks

• Jacket or sweatshirt

• Sunscreen (yes, even in winter!)

We'll send you a complete packing list when you register.

Yes. Our February session runs 15 to 19 February 2027, covering Presidents Day week when most metro Atlanta districts close for the full week. You can book 2, 3, 4 or 5 days. It is the break that catches working parents out most often, since there is no holiday attached to it and it sits in the middle of term, so we would recommend booking early.

Not at all. Metro Atlanta winter days typically sit in the fifties, which is comfortable for active outdoor play once children are moving. Campers spend the day on archery, fort building, hayrides, pony rides and nature walks rather than standing still. Send your child in layers with a jacket and closed toe shoes and they will be warm within ten minutes of arriving.
