Overnight summer camps in Georgia provide kids and teens with independence and insane amounts of fun. These sleepaway camps offer many activities and opportunities that regular day camp can't provide. Evening programming, bunking and socializing with kids from across the state (and even the country!), resiliency, and discovering new aspects of their personalities are just some of the advantages of attending Georgia sleepaway camp.

Even when kids age out as campers, these devoted teens can then work at sleepaway camps as counselors, specialists, and other roles. Take a look at some of the best overnight summer camps in Georgia that will have your kids begging to attend every year!

Not ready for overnight summer camp? We rounded up awesome day camps in Atlanta that offer wonderful activities in our Atlanta Summer Camp Guide!
