13 Jan CAMP SEQUOYAH Day Camps
Thank you for your interest in summer camps at Mount Sequoyah! Thanks to your support we have grown our summer camp offerings for 2018. All day camps are for children ages 5 – 12 years old; four-year-olds who will be attending kindergarten in the fall are also welcome for Camp Sequoyah and Little Village programs. If you have kids who are 13 and up, they are welcome to apply to be a junior counselor for any Camp Sequoyah Session – have them contact Emily Gentry at emily.gentry@mountsequoyah.org.
