Camp Session Details
Best Summer Ever
Let's kick off the summer right! The first session gives campers a taste of what is to come over the next 10 weeks. This week includes an extra swim day in the UREC outdoor pools, arts and crafts, games, and other engaging activities.
Down on the Farm
This week, we show campers what fun you can have at a farm! This session will let kids see a petting zoo as well as other fun farm activities.
Hey Fightin' Tigers
Wear purple and gold all week as we celebrate the amazing LSU campus. Campers visit Mike the Tiger, followed by a trip to cheer inside Tiger Stadium. Campers will know what it feels like to be an LSU Tiger!
Move and Groove
Campers will be moving and grooving as our Fitness team will show them fun ways to stay healthy and in shape. Obstacle courses and competitions will be the name of the game here at Tiger’s Den.
Tigers Got Talent
The first Annual Tiger’s Den Talent show will be this week to celebrate the half way point of Tiger’s Den. Parents will be invited to see all of the campers’ fun and impressive skills.
Party in the USA
It's the time of year to celebrate America. This 4 day camp week will include arts and crafts, games, and food focus around America's birthday. Each day will be a different color, so check out those days soon!
Seaux Sporty
Join us for a week where your kids will dive into a whirlwind of sports and laughter! At Tiger’s Den they'll make new friends, learn new games, and see who the real champions are.
Outdoor Odyssey
One of the best parts of summer is getting outdoors. Session 8 is perfect for campers who want to climb the UREC 35' climbing wall, and spend time under the sun (with sunblock, of course) adventuring to new heights on the Challenge Course.
Swimtopia
More pool time is always the best way to spend summer. Camper's will work on a synchronized swimming routine throughout the week, also known as artistic swimming, to be preformed to all other campers and staff during the week.
Summer's Out
All great things don't have to come to an end. Campers create the memories that last a lifetime during the last session of summer camp with games, arts and crafts, activities, pool time, and climbing. Parents are invited Friday to celebrate the end of the summer at the first ever "Tiger's Den Field Day".
