State Licensing Requirements
As a general rule, athletic camps, science camps, clinics, after-school programs, enrichment classes and activities are regulated by the State of Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning. These activities require either a license or an issued exemption from licensure. Camps, programs and activities that are owned and operated by any department or agency of a state, county or municipal government are exempt. An exemption remains in effect until there is a change in the program. Institutions should ensure that all covered programs are properly licensed or that an exemption from licensure is obtained. A copy of the license or the exemption document from the Department of Early Care and Learning must be displayed as required by state law.
