My daughters mostly enjoyed meeting new best friends, becoming part of a tribe and the bonding that comes with that. They felt at home even thought they were there for such a short period. Merri-Mac is right out of a story book; they could not have loved it more! Augusta, GA

Our one week camp is designed for families who would like to introduce their girls to Merri-Mac but who do not feel ready for a traditional two week camp experience. Starter campers are initiated into their Indian tribes, join their fellow campers in competing for the banner, are introduced to camp skills and activities and begin making connections with our camp traditions. While there are some skill programs that we are not able to offer in the six day starter camp, it is long enough to serve as an exciting beginning for their years as a Merri-Mac camper.

As a parent of a Starter Camper who is very young I was very happy with the loving, nurturing counselors in Tweedle Dee. I immediately felt confident that Audrey would be just fine. Woodstock, GA

By the end of the session most of our starter campers wish they had enrolled for a longer stay than the one week camp, which is our goal exactly. They drive away from camp having developed a new, healthy sense of independence and ready to be a part of a longer session.

Izzy loved all the activities. She loved the Sock War! Her tribe, Choctaw, won and got to go the to the ice cream parlor! She loved being able to interact with the older campers too. She absolutely loved everything. Monroe, GA

Starter Camp is available for first year campers only and children of all ages are welcome.
