Camp Mirage Mt. Juliet: Babysitting Camp

This week-long babysitting course at Camp Mirage in Mt. Juliet is built around giving kids and teens the real-world skills they need to be trusted, sought-after sitters in their community. It's a life skills program with a clear practical outcome — your child leaves with the knowledge and confidence to care for younger kids responsibly. The camp is open to a wide age range, 7 through 14, which means younger kids can get a head start and older tweens can polish skills they might already be putting to use. Morning-only sessions run from 9 a.m. to noon, making it easy to pair with an afternoon activity or camp. Three sessions are available between early June and mid-July, so you have decent scheduling flexibility. At $185 for the week, it's an accessible option for a course that delivers tangible, lasting skills — not just a fun experience, but genuine preparation for a responsibility kids often take on by middle school.
