Trying to see if the parents on the OT have any ideas of cool camps for 11 year old boys. Sleep away camps wouldve been cool, but its out of the picture. He likes sports, but wish they had extreme shite here like 4 wheelers and stuff

Paul G Manship YMCA has a good camp and lots of good facilities, at least when I was a counselor there 5 years ago that was the case.
Do not send them to any of the other YMCA's in Baton Rouge though, their camps are total shite, I went to the Southside one when I was 11 and it was miserable and the one closer to downtown has very limited facilities for kids.

I've heard that the BREC Astronomy Camp at Highland Rd Park Observatory is really good.

It was a joke/ripoff when my granddaughter went to the Y.

i'll add AIM in Prairieville to the list anyway. Especially if he likes sports.
Posted on 5/7/15 at 2:32 pm to Boo Krewe
If he's into baseball, Cypress Mounds will be having a summer camp this year.

What are they suppose to look at in the middle of the day??
Posted on 5/7/15 at 2:41 pm to iAmBatman
they go swimming, play dodgeball, or arts and crafts.
I just want my brother to play with kids his age and have fun. The school he goes to is weird.

get them into some of the BREC camps. My son (13) has gone the last few years after going to the YMCA for several summers.
Ones he enjoyed:
Swamp camp (most popular and may already be full)
Astronomy camp (wasn't too into it at the beginning of the week, but at the end, he changed his mind.)
Art camp (he loves art, so this was right up his alley)
Tennis camp (liked it, especially since the one he went to spent time fishing at the pond each day)
Magnolia Mound camp (this one rarely fills up, so it's a good last minute option. they do lots of crafts and go on field trips)
Ones I think he would have liked, but were booked:
There is an Outdoor adventure camp- looked good, but filled up fast
Zoo camp- also looked fun, but too far for my schedule.
Good luck
