About camps in Lewis County

Summer in Lewis County, in plain language.

Lewis County currently lists 3 active summer camps in the Tennessee Firefly directory, anchored by Hohenwald in Middle Tennessee. The county's camp footprint is smaller than its urban neighbors, which is typical of Middle Tennessee's mid-sized counties, families here often combine in-county programs with day or overnight camps within driving distance. The list above shows every active Lewis County camp we've verified; the FAQ below answers what parents ask most.

Most Lewis County parents pick camps within a 30-to-45 minute drive of home. Realistic commute neighbors include Davidson County (Nashville), Rutherford County (Murfreesboro), Williamson County (Franklin), all in Middle Tennessee. Several large regional draws, overnight camps on the lakes, sports academies tied to area colleges, and faith-based camps with summer-long retreats, pull from across the region rather than a single county.

Lewis County camp pricing tracks the statewide pattern: free programs through Hohenwald city and county Parks & Recreation, the Lewis County 4-H club (administered by UT Extension), and library reading programs; low-cost church-affiliated and YMCA day camps in the $100 to $250 per week range; and mid-tier private day camps and overnight programs running $300 to $800 per week. Several camps offer sliding-scale scholarships, those are flagged in each listing with a "Scholarships available" tag. No family should have to skip summer over cost.

Lewis County serves a public-school population across 1 school district and roughly 5 K-12 campuses, so the camp mix reflects what local families value: sports development (baseball, basketball, soccer, swim), STEM and robotics, performing arts, faith-based programming, and traditional outdoor day camps. Filter by interest above to narrow the list. New camps are added every week through the spring and summer as directors submit them and as the Tennessee Firefly newsroom finds them in public program rosters.

Summer camps in Lewis County, common questions

What Hohenwald-area parents ask most about summer camps in Lewis County.

How many summer camps are in Lewis County, Tennessee?

What summer camps near Hohenwald, Tennessee serve elementary-age kids?
Most Lewis County summer camps in the Firefly directory accept children ages 5 to 11, including day camps, sports academies, STEM programs, arts intensives, and faith-based options. Filter by age on the camp list above to see only programs matching your child's age. Camp details include ages served, weekly pricing, and registration links.
Are there free or low-cost summer camps in Lewis County?
Yes. Hohenwald city and Lewis County Parks & Recreation, the UT Extension 4-H club for Lewis County, and several local churches typically run free or low-cost day programs in summer. Many private camps also offer sliding-scale scholarships — those are flagged with a "Scholarships available" tag in each listing.
When does summer camp season start in Lewis County?
Lewis County summer camps typically open the week after Memorial Day (late May) and run through early August.
