Calcasieu Parish schools dismiss for the summer on May 20th. How do you keep the "I'm bored" comments away? Off to the internet I went, and I found several interesting summer camps right here in the Lake area.

    McNeese Leisure Learning All-Day Camp

    From heroes to inventions to art to planes, trains, and automobiles, this camp has it all! They even give you the t-shirt (five of them, to be exact). It's a bit pricey, but worth it for the exposure your child gets to so many different experiences he or she may be learning from and not even know they are being educated. The camp begins the Monday after school lets out (May 23) and continues through August 1, so your youngster is occupied for most of the summer. Also, you can choose to send them part of the summer or all summer. It's not an all-or-nothing deal.
