Atlanta's February winter break is a week-long vacation for many metro school districts. Though parents may be thinking "not another school break," kids are sure to be smiling for time off.

In addition to great Atlanta events during the break, we've rounded up fun school break camps that will keep kids entertained during the week. Make sure to contact these winter camps right away as spots fill fairly quickly.

For more ideas of what to do during the February break in Atlanta, check out our Winter Activities Guide for Atlanta Kids, including inspiration for Wonderful Winter Day Trips from Atlanta and Atlanta Winter Break and Spring Break Camps.
