The Lafayette Consolidated Government Parks, Arts, Recreation, and Culture (PARC) Department is hosting a variety of summer camps, increasing options for kids of all ages this summer.

Through public-private partnerships, PARC and community organizations are able to provide quality programs focused on education, art, performing arts, enrichment, sports, leadership, STEM, and more. “By working together, we’re able to provide facilities for summer camps to meet the needs of the community. We’re building valuable community relations with organizations that can provide more of a variety of resources than we can on our own,” Recreation Centers Manager Alena Fields said.

Eight recreation centers will host camps, including Generational Voices which held its inaugural camp in 2021 and is expanding from one location to two this year. Both locations will include activities for special needs children. CEO and Executive Director Brittney Houston said, “Last year was phenomenal. The goal was not only to spread awareness of social and emotional activities but to also promote positivity in kids’ communities. We touched the lives of 144 kids.”

The objective, Fields said, is for camps to be etched into Lafayette recreation centers summer after summer. “We want parents to know they can expect these programs that provide a safe, learning, and fun environment for their children. We’re striving to add even more camps next year,” she said.
