For campers ages 5 through 13, the Spirit of Summer comes to life through the power of Kidcam Camp at Destrehan Plantation.
This partnership with Destrehan Plantation 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.
Camp 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, and Specialty Activities.
*NOTE: Campers must be 5 years or older before attending a Kidcam Camp.

Kidcam Camps is proud to be Accredited by the American Camp Association. ACA Accreditation means that your child’s camp cares enough to undergo a thorough (up to 300 standards) review of its operation every year — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. ACA collaborates with experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth-serving agencies to assure that current practices at your child’s camp reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation. Camps and ACA form a partnership that promotes growth and fun in an environment committed to safety. ACA accreditation assures families that camps have made the commitment to a safe, nurturing environment for their children. ACA standards are recognized by courts of law and government regulators as the standards of the camp community.
