What Makes Our Winter Break Camp in Atlanta Different

Georgia winters are perfect for outdoor play. While most winter break camps in Atlanta keep kids stuck indoors watching movies or playing video games, Josh Powell Camp gets them OUTSIDE for real adventure on our 30-acre campus.

For over 50 years, Atlanta families have trusted us to deliver the same outdoor magic in December that we do all summer long. We're not an indoor play center or a franchise gym. We're a family-owned outdoor camp where kids build forts, ride ponies, meet Santa, and make memories during their Christmas break.

Here's what makes Josh Powell the best winter break camp in Atlanta:

No Technology Policy - Kids are required to leave all electronics at home. Real outdoor play, not screen time — the way childhood should be.

Family-Owned Since 1972 - We're not a corporate franchise. We're a local family that's been serving Atlanta families for over five decades.

Teacher-Led Staff - Our counselors are experienced elementary school teachers and college students who genuinely love working with kids.

Year-Round Camps - We run camps during every school break — fall, winter, spring, and of course all summer long. More touchpoints with your family.

Bus Pickup Included - Three convenient pickup locations across Atlanta. No need to drive to Acworth — we come to you.
