Lake Charles Year End - 2024 Summer Camps And Classes

Summer is winding down, but it ain't over just yet. There are still a couple of weeks left to go before school starts. That's why you and your kids might find a few of these camps worth checking out. The camps have been going on all summer and are being offered by a variety of local organizations including, the Calcasieu Parish Library and SOWELA Technical College just to name a few.
