Summertime is quickly approaching, and that means it’s time to start thinking about those summer vacation plans — especially summer camps for kids.

Here are some fun local summer camps to look into this year!

Children thrive when they have the opportunity to interact with nature and engage in outdoor play. That’s why Pip and Pickles Farm, in partnership with A New Leaf Nashville, offers several week-long summer camps focused on outdoor adventure, exploration, and play. Children aged 5 through 12 are welcome to attend as campers, while those aged 11-15 can join in a more supervisory role. Activities include art, music, games, and tending to farm animals.
