Camp Mikell Recap

At the end of Freedom School in July, 20 scholars traveled to Toccoa, located in beautiful northeast Georgia, to attend Camp Mikell for a week. Camp Mikell is the Camp and Conference Center of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. Its 460 acres include mountains, valleys, waterfalls, and Little Toccoa Creek. Our children enjoyed swimming in the pool and creek every day, hiking, crafting, eating lots of food, making s'mores, playing four square, and scaling the climbing tower. For many Emmaus House campers, this was their best experience of the summer.

Making s’mores at the bonfire on the first night is a Camp Mikell tradition.

Ms. Bridget and Freedom School scholars lead the morning Harambee program at Camp Mikell.

A great new tradition at Camp Mikell is Science Night! Emmaus House children love helping with the experiments.
