Lake Area Summer Camps

The school bells will ring for the final time this year in a matter of weeks! Calcasieu Parish students report for the last day on May 24th, and classes in the surrounding parishes end about that time, too.

I'm sure there are lots more out there, too! Let me know about any in your area.
