Destrehan Plantation
Note: Kidcam @ Destrehan Plantation is full for this summer. We will not be accepting any more campers.
We are thrilled to create a new partnership with the River Road Historical Society at Destrehan Plantation. This allows Kidcam to support the Destrehan community and provide funding during typically dormant times to a non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve history and provide education on a truly beautiful landmark in St. Charles Parish.
Our 2022 Summer Camp program will be held at the Mule Barn event facility at Destrehan Plantation. This space provides us our typical indoor facility needs, along with access to covered pavilions and beautiful, Oak tree SHADED green spaces. Campers will celebrate a different theme each week while enjoying weekly swimming at Hill Heights and enjoy an extensive program of Arts, Sports, Life Skills, STEM, Specialty Activities, and Coach Ryan's favorite Kidcam group games and traditions.

Pre-Paid Account
PrePaid Food and Aftercare accounts are debit accounts to which you can add funds for the summer, or on an as-needed basis. Money is auto-deduct as it is used for either food or aftercare.
Prepaid funds are shared between campers on the same account.
Money may be applied toward balances due in either account if there are funds in one, and a balance due in another.
It’s recommended to pay only what’s expected to be used as refunds are not given on prepaid accounts. Funds will rollover to the following week and camp year.
