Kidcam First Christian Church (located on Robert)
102 Christian Ln, Slidell, LA 70458
Made in 1974 – Celebrating 45 Kidcam Summers
Kidcam is excited to partner with First Christian Church on Robert and Christian. This location is two doors down from the library on Robert in between Gause and I-12. This camp is not a religious-based camp. We lease the Cornelius Center for our home base activities, and campers take our STPSB school bus on their excursions and field trips.
Campers swim weekly at Pinewood Country Club and take one day for off-campus field trips. There are part-time and daily drop-in options available for this camp location. See Tuition details below for more information.
Kidcam’s engaging weekly themes are action-packed with activities that promote fun, fitness, friendship, and creativity each week of camp. This year’s theme, “Made in 1974 – 45 Kidcam Summers,” celebrates Kidcam’s 45th year in operation. Campers will celebrate a different theme each week, while still incorporating their daily choice of activities ranging from Sports, Arts, STEM, Specialty & Water Play. This allows campers to choose between a variety of new programs, activities and challenges led by their camp counselors. Weekly schedules & field trips will be posted online no later than the Friday prior to each week a camper attends. Themes & field trips will be added to accounts beginning in March under the Kidcam Way dropdown menu.
