Welcome to the Episcopal Day School (EDS) summer program, Summer FUNdations.

Open to all children in and around Augusta, Camp FUNdations’ mission is to provide campers with not only a safe, loving environment for summer fun, but also one that nourishes the individual spirit and mind of each child.

Unlike other area camps that focus on simply enter-taining children, Camp FUNdations strives to accom-plish EDS’ goal for its students - to provide an excellent education, within a Christian environment, that will nurture each child’s intellectual curiosity, social re-sponsibility, and spiritual awareness.

Our campers will not only gain self-esteem and con-fi dence, but will also cultivate new friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

About Episcopal Day School

EDS was founded in 1944 by the Church of the Good Shepherd as a Christian kindergarten and childcare re-source for Augusta mothers working in the war eff ort. In 1962 EDS was the fi rst area school to integrate — a decade before court-ordered desegregation.

Today, EDS continues to provide Augusta with the highest value of education for its youth with an un-matched balance of challenging academics and spiri-tual development.

Our beautiful Walton Way campus is as familiar to many Augustans as the Church of the Good Shepherd, whose grounds and values we share.
