2022 Summer Camp Guide for New Orleans

Updated: May 28, 2022



The moms of Black New Orleans Moms got together to share some of the best camp options for parents this summer. With summer right around the corner, we wanted to give the moms (and dads) a headstart on finding childcare for the summer months. From digital media to etiquette to STEM camps, there is something for everyone! We also added a couple of places that provide swim lessons over the summer for your little ones!


Be Loud Camp is a jam-packed week of digital media production, creative play, and community building. Campers (incoming 3rd through 6th grade) explore a wide range of digital media skills (making radio shows, music beats, and movies), build new friendships, and gain the confidence to speak up for themselves. Scholarships are also available for interested families! You can reach out to Alex for scholarship info at alex@beloudstudios.org.


Tea Time Etiquette Camp helps young girls explore what it means to build character. Campers will enjoy Tea Parties, Social & Table Etiquette, Health & Fitness, Performing Arts, Girl Talk, Guest Speakers, Nutritional Meals, Money Management, Field Trips, and Fun days.

Throughout each weekly theme at AWE Camp, your child will be an Engineer, a Scientist, an Explorer, a Designer, an Artist, and come out with a true desire to understand the world that they live in. Their goal is to create a space for children to ASK questions about the world around them, WONDER about solutions to problems that they face today and will face tomorrow, and EXPLORE to make discoveries in order to construct knowledge and gain an understanding of different facets of science through the lens of STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art and Mathematics) and the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards).

Teaches elementary age youth about design including architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning and real estate through a social justice lens. We are excited to share that this year's camp theme is Flooding! During our hands-on camp program, 9-12 year olds will meet actual designers and use design thinking and creative problem solving skills to answer the question, how can kids design a better neighborhood against flooding?
