Louisiana Children’s Museum offers holiday and summer camp to keep your child busy and engaged when school is out. Designed by educators, our camps include fun learning experiences in literacy, science and nature, math, and the arts with structured and supervised exploration indoors and outdoors on our beautiful 8.5 acres in the heart of City Park.
These funds are an important part of supporting LCM’s mission to make a child’s potential visible through play and exploration, which is why we are unable to offer refunds. We appreciate your support!
What You Need to Know
Camps are for children ages 4-8. Space is limited and is first come, first served. All campers must be 4 years of age by the date of camp, no exceptions. We reserve the right to ask for proof of age prior to the start of camp. We also require that campers be fully potty-trained to register for camp. Please note that if you have not already set up an account with our new CampBrain system, you will need to do so when you register.
Big summer adventures are on the way!
Details coming soon.
Join us for weekly adventures from May 26 through July 31 for kids ages 4 to 8. Each week is packed with hands-on fun, creative projects, and playful learning in our museum and outdoor spaces.
Registration dates will be announced soon. Stay tuned and get ready to sign up at lcm.campbrainregistration.com.
Parents Night Out
When the doors close, the magic begins. Give your kids a night of wonder—while you enjoy a night of your own.
Parents, this is your official permission slip to make Friday night plans. Drop the kids off at LCM and enjoy three whole hours to dine out, catch a movie, or savor the rare luxury of silence—while Museum After Dark turns the museum into an after-hours playground.
