Summer Camp Program
The Frazer Center Early Childhood Summer Camp Program offers inclusive services to children that are between the ages of 5 and 9 years old. This program is an extension of the Georgia Pre-K program that operates during the 180-day school year, and runs throughout June and July. Children who have completed our Pre-K program are eligible to attend. This program is also open to children from five to nine years of age in the community. The camp runs for a total of 9 weeks that are broken into 1-week units based on various themes of summer. Outdoor games, creative arts and music are central components of the curriculum, which is designed to be relaxing and educational.

Caring for the Whole Family
"Our twin sons were diagnosed with autism a month after their second birthday. Knowing the importance of early intervention, we struggled to find a way to bridge the gap between the therapy they were receiving and their daily routine, which is vitally important.
Luckily, we found The Frazer Center. From the moment we met with Courtney [Thomas, Director of Children's Services], I could feel their genuine commitment to reaching out to special needs children. Through the generosity of their scholarship program, our boys have been given a chance to develop a sense of security in an inclusive setting where all children are encouraged to thrive. I can honestly say that we have seen promising strides in their development that we did not see in a year of just therapy alone.
As a parent, I have received support from the inclusion specialist and through parent workshops that has been invaluable to me in navigating the complicated system and overwhelming information that is out there. We are truly grateful to the Frazer Center for not just caring for our special needs children, but for our whole family."
- Carolyn Shepherd, mother to Kai and Riley
