I'm desperately looking for a summer camp of some sort in the Oak ridge, Clinton, or Knoxville and preferably someone who works with income. TIA sooo much!

A friend posted today that ORAU hosts a free Robotics camp for middle school and above. https://www.facebook.com/60005447253 Oak Ridge Playh https://www.facebook.com/148524071834319 ouse hosts Junior Playhouse Academy. Sound Company Oak Ridge's Children's Performing Choir hosts Show Camp. Several churches in the area will be having Vacation Bible School. Some even have a full-day "camp" option.
Does anyone know of churches that have child care/ summer camps?

We do have a parents night out (FNL) if you would be interested in that. Its a once a month thing. http://www.fumcor.org/fnl/ Also of course VBS is a great thing we do! Erin Webb is there any type of summer camp for school age kids this summer?

Kern Methodist offers a great morning camp "Camp Faith" on Tues and Thurs. It's from 9 am - noon. I think it is $70.00 for the entire session (summer) they also give multi child discounts. My littles have gone there for the past 2 summers and will attend again. Ask for Chanda Knight. If you are looking for something longer First United Methodist also has a fabulous program.

If you have a school age daughter Girls Inc is great. My oldest has gone there for 4 years, going on 5.
Can anyone recommend any good summer day camps? I'm looking for some alternatives to give them a break from their standard care (Westside YMCA)
Thanks!

Knoxville Summer program at rec centers all over town. Its a great program and cheap, $20 for the summer, included lunch and a snack. Then you only pay for the field trips they want to go on. Great trips too. Most expensive one is $20 and that's NASCAR speed park in PF. They only do sign ups for 1 day, it's usually mid may. Call parks and rec and they can give you the number for the rec center you're zoned for. We live deep west off Lovell and go to the rec center off of morell rd behind the mall. They go everyday from 9-3 with a week break for 4 th of July, oh and they get a camp shirt too. You can also sign up for one semester, before or after the July 4 th break and its just $10 + field trips. My husband and I figured out that if our two older boys went on every field trip for the whole summer the camp still only cost $155. That cheap for the entire summer for two kids.
