Nashville is home to a wide variety of summer camps that will keep your kids busy. As you flip through the following pages, you’ll find numerous activitybased camps from theater to dance, rock climbing to rock ‘n’ roll, faith-based to sleep away camps. You’re sure to find a summer camp that will suit your kids.
