Apr. 23—TIFTON — Registration is open for Camp Wiregrass, a series of educational summer camps hosted by Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College's Georgia Museum of Agriculture.

Children from 5 to 12 years old will experience a variety of adventures when they explore agriculture, history, natural resources, and STEM through fun, interactive day camps, according to a press release from ABAC.

"Spots are filling up quickly, so we are encouraging parents to register and secure a spot," said Kelly Scott, the museum's assistant director. "The Museum provides an amazing backdrop, allowing us to offer camps that are not just exciting and hands-on for children, but also educational."

Scott said that registration for each camp will close the week prior to the session. But since most camps fill quickly, she said it's a good idea to register well in advance.

For the Munchkin campers in the 5-6 years old age range, "Season's Greetings" runs from May 28-31 while "Cotton & Chickens & Cows, Oh My!" takes place June 11-14. Both camps run from 8 a.m. to noon each day with drop off from 7:30-8 a.m. and pick up from noon-12:30 p.m. The cost of each camp is $75 and includes a snack, a T-shirt, and all supplies.

Camps are also available for Explorer campers ages 7-9 years old. "Sail the High Seas" is scheduled for June 3-7 while "Exploring Space" will be held June 24-28. Each camp runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with drop off from 7:30-8 a.m. and pick up from 3-3:30 p.m. The cost of each camp is $120 and includes a snack, a T-shirt, and supplies.

"The Ultimate Game Show" is a camp for 10- to 12-year-olds scheduled for July 8-12. This camp runs from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., with drop off from 7:30-8 a.m. and pick up from 3-3:30 p.m. The cost per camper is $120 and includes a snack, a T-shirt, and supplies.
