SUMMER 2021 *COVID-19 UPDATE: We love our families! Our summer camps will be open for registration on February 1st. If the state of KY mandates us to close during one of your camp dates, we will provide you with a refund.
Abigail Academy Foundation Summer Camps offer girls a chance to create, design, and have so much fun, all while learning new skills, building authentic confidence and lifelong memories. Our classes integrate creativity with fun and meaningful activities that make every camper feel valuable. Students build upon learned theme tools and techniques on day one, and are always excited to celebrate and share their invested efforts with parents and guardians at the end of a camp week. We promise this will be your girl’s most fun summer ever!
If you’re new to Abigail Academy, welcome! And hi again if you’re one of our returning campers. Camp may feel new to everyone this year because we have moved our location as well as updated our space, supplies, and team to safely serve more girls.
As always, feel free to call us if you have questions during the registration process. We hope Abigail Academy is your choice for a wonderful 2021 camp experience. We are so excited to be with you this summer!
Sincerely,
The Abigail Academy Team
