Camp Mikell: A Perfect End to Summer

We were pleased recently to welcome our Freedom School scholars back from Camp Mikell.

For many years, Camp Mikell has reserved the final week of its season for Emmaus House scholars fresh off of our six-week summer literacy program.

A change of scenery

Owned by the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, Camp Mikell’s 460-acre campus includes forests, waterfalls, a swimming pool, and plenty of natural bodies of water.

For many of our students, it’s a rare opportunity to get away from the stimulation of city life and enjoy some relaxing fun in a stunning natural landscape.

Filled with gratitude

We’re so grateful to the camp and the Diocese for hosting our scholars. It was an incredible week and a perfect chance for them to unwind before the start of the school year.
