Louisiana Children’s Museum offers camps 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.
What You Need to Know
Camps are for children ages 4-8. Hours are 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. 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.
2024 Summer Camp is SOLD OUT!
Sign up for our email list so you’ll be the first to know when we open registration for next summer and our mini camps throughout the year.
We are excited to welcome campers back to the museum for a summer full of exploration. This year, we are taking our popular themes and repeating them for the second half of summer. Activities will be the same for each theme session, allowing for more opportunity for families to explore a theme if spots were not available in an earlier session.
