Your Kids Will Love These Summer Camps in Bossier City

When I first moved to Bossier City, about three years ago, I had no idea the family community that awaited me. As I started my work at Hulafrog, I began to uncover so much of this city and the surrounding area’s family friendly events and businesses. Since my oldest child is now school-age, I have discovered so many awesome things for him to be a part of in this bustling, yet small town! When looking into what to do to keep my kids busy this summer, I came across so many local places that offer cool summer camps for kids! I had no idea there were so many places you could send your child to ward off the summer blues.

These summer day camps offer swimming, gymnastics, team building, athletic lessons and much more. Here are a few of my favorite kid summer camps in Bossier City.

1. The Swim School: Camp S.O.S

This camp offers kids ages 4-7 the chance to acquire more confidence in swimming while also having fun! Camp starts at the end of May and run through July. It runs Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. You can go for just one week or every week. Camp activities include swim lessons, water play time, arts and crafts, story time and a snack.
