Are you ready for summer camps in 2023! See our huge list of how to keep kids busy during break (2023)

Start planning for an action-packed summer with the 2023 Shopper News Summer Camp list.This year’s list is filled with a variety of arts, music, science, technology, nature, and sports themed camps. There is something for just about every interest and age group.

Not sure which ones to register for? Try a day camp with a mix of traditional camp activities. Or, why not sample a new sport – perhaps sailing or rowing – or test drive a potential future career?

For first-time campers there is a selection of camps for preschoolers to get them used to the experience. Perhaps it is that bittersweet last summer camp? Check out the counselor-in-training, leadership and college credit camps.

The Shopper News has noticed that a few camps have had to bump up their prices again this year, so try to catch an early bird special, book more than one session or apply for a sibling discount to save. There is a handful of free camps, but space is limited.

Did we miss any camps being offered in East Tennessee this summer? Send us the details at news@ShopperNewsNow.com and we will update our list.
