Camp CMA!

Children's Museum of Acadiana

April 9, 2020

If there were ever a summer you and your kids want to register them for fun summer camp, Summer 2020 is it! After being cooped up social distancing all spring, kids are yearning for lots of fun and parents would like to see a little education mixed in. The Children's Museum of Acadiana (CMA) offers both fun and education with Camp CMA! And, even though things will be returning to normal come summer, the CMA assures parents even before Covid-19 the Museum was kept clean with stringent cleaning procedures which will be stepped up to address everyone's new concerns. https://www.childrensmuseumofacadiana.com/blog/

Each summer, the CMA offers fun, educational camps and limits the number of campers so that every child gets lots time to participate in activities and lots of attention from the CMA's experienced educators. And, the camps are all day with early drop off and late pick-up available for working parents.

Camp CMA is designed using a STEAM based, hands-on curriculum, activities will center on creative thinking, real objects and real-world concepts. All of our programs are packed with scientific investigation, experiments, crafts, educational games, art, and time to explore our hands-on, interactive exhibits. Keep your children entertained and educated this summer in the safe and educational environment of the Children's Museum of Acadiana (CMA).

Camp CMA!'s three week-long day camps are designed and produced by educators so that campers are inspired to explore, play, and learn as well as includes a peer learning component that means kids are going to get a lot of social interaction. "Play" will be an integral component of all camp activities as research show "play" is necessary to child development, and it is the CMA's goal that campers learn and grow while they're having fun.

By integrating all the exhibits into camp activities and time for free-play, campers will delight in having so much time to enjoy the Museum's offerings. Parents of former campers report their children loved their camp experience so much they cried at the end of every day when leaving.

The three camp sessions this summer for children ages 6-10, include: "X" Marks the Spot from June 8 - 12, 2020, during which campers will participate in pirate-themed and inspired activities, O.S.C.A.R. (Oobleck, Slime, Construction Art, Reuse) from June 29 - July 3, 2020, during which campers will engage with slime, oobleck, building, and creating, and Unplugged from July 13-17, 2020, which will expose campers to all kinds of games that don't need batteries or electricity....just creativity. Each camp session runs from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm daily, costs $145 Members / $160 Non-Members, and early drop-off and late pick-up is available. We require a minimum 8/ maximum 15 each session and children should bring lunch every day. Snacks and water provided by CMA.
