About Summer Day Camp

Summer "Play" Day Camp, based at the Louisville Recreation Center, has the perfect mix of structured and child directed activities. Arts and Crafts fosters creativity, free thinking and self expression. Sports and games provide opportunities for teamwork, new experiences and physical activity. Free choice time allows for child-centered play for healthy brain development, imagination, physical strength and cognitive skills. Plus weekly field trips on Wednesdays, swimming at the Recreation Center's aquatics center on Tuesdays & Thursdays equals a Summer of FUN! No wonder campers return year after year! Activities are designed with the elementary aged child in mind. We ask parents to use their best judgment in considering enrolling a younger child, unaccustomed to a large setting with numerous children of various ages; as well as older children who may not be interested in being in a camp with mixed ages. Be sure to read the Summer Day Camp Handbook for specific policies and procedures.

The Louisville Recreation & Senior Center provides a variety of children's enrichment programs designed to stimulate your child's social, physical, and cognitive skills. Programs are designed with specific age groups in mind to provide the best in program quality. Children will be canceled from a class roster if they do not meet age/grade requirements.

Registration Information

Eligibility:

K-5th Graders for 2024-2025 School Year

NEW Online Lottery Enrollment
Families have one week to make their camp selections. There is no advantage to enrolling day one vs day 2 of the lotter enrollment. After the lottery submission window has closed, the registration system will randomly select participants from those who have submitted. Each session has a separate lottery, giving families equal opportunity to be drawn for each three-week session. Enrollment in the lottery DOES NOT ensure a camp slot. Lottery allows families to submit siblings in the same household (with one same parent or guardian) either independently (may not get into same sessions) as well as linked (will only be enrolled if both siblings are offered an enrollment spot). We recommend you do NOT wait until the last minute to account for any questions or errors when submitting for the lottery.
