By Jessica Sweeney, Publisher, Macaroni KID Athens December 10, 2024

Winter break in Athens-Clarke and Oconee County is Monday, December 23rd through Friday, January 3rd. Several of our Athens kid-friendly businesses are hosting day camps to keep kids engaged and active during the school break, and to help give parents time to prepare for the upcoming holiday. Take a look at a few who still have openings - spots are filling-up fast!
