Summary: McCALLIE SCHOOL OFFERS NOT ONLY a nationally recognized college preparatory education, but also some equally high-caliber summer programs which are both enjoyable and enriching for its participants (and comforting for the parents). Choose from three boarding camps and fifteen day camps. McCallie has long offered the best, most complete summer camp program in this area -- and this year will be even bigger and better! Campers from age five and up develop new skills, hone old ones, learn the value of teamwork and cooperation -- and have fun! Excellent facilities, caring professional adults, and enthusiastic counselors result in a great summer experience at McCallie that will be enjoyed and remembered for years to come.

Department Director: Bill Eiselstien
