Spotlight Education Program
Summer Camp 2024

The Atlanta Preservation Center welcomes elementary-aged students from the City of Refuge, in collaboration with a number of community and preservation partners each summer for a week of fun! Our camp is based out of the L.P. Grant Mansion (APC headquarters) where we learn about the importance of historic preservation starting at the oldest house in the city of Atlanta (c.1856). We host up to 30 students, and they are introduced to historic preservation through hands-on learning and by visiting historic spaces and hearing stories of the past. 

“The greenest building is . . . one that is already built.”

— Carl Elefante // The National Trust for Historic Preservation
