Camp BREC
Our camp opportunities are created to provide campers with an enjoyable camp experience full of exciting activities and unique fieldtrips. They will be in an inclusive atmosphere that encourages developing friendships and an array of skills. Our program includes quality activities and a chance to reconnect with old friends and meet some new ones along the way.
Specialty Camps
Buckle your seatbelts for an exciting summer with our Specialty camps! We have developed eight unique weeks that will concentrate on adding fun and variety (and some learning) to the summer! We will have expert guests/ instructors, field trips, crafts, and activities that support that week’s specialty. To provide quality experiences for our campers, our field trips can sometimes take place outside of East Baton Rouge Parish. The schedule including field trips is communicated the prior week in the parent email.
