YMCA Camp Lakewood's summer overnight camp for boys and girls ages 6-17, only 90 minutes south of St. Louis, provides a well-rounded experience for campers by getting them outdoors having fun, making friends and conquering new skills. A 360-acre lake, 5,200 wooded acres, caves and creeks create many opportunities for adventure, exploration and experiential learning. YMCA Camp Lakewood offers four-day, one-week and two-week camp programs, and also ranch, leadership and wilderness programs, with optional electives, including high adventure, advanced arts & crafts, paintball, SNAG golf, horsemanship and more. 

Camp is the promise of endless fun, friends, and memories. STL Rock School (formerly Dave Simon's Rock School) camps offer the ultimate thrill of putting a rock band together and performing in a concert. Your child will be placed in a band as they form their musical identity and sound. Each band's journey is unique and sets the stage for new friendships. Our camp includes:

• Rock band classes
• Lessons
• Outside play

Code Ninjas offers fun and rewarding coding camps for kids ages 7-14. Camps include:

Game Builders' Club: Build your very own video game from the ground up using your own art work (or ours) combined with the coding skills that you learn at camp.

STEM Activities and Snap It Together: Sharpen your mind and have fun at the same time with engaging STEM games and activities.

Code Drones: (Drone is included in this program.) Program and fly your own drone in our Code Drones camp, and the best part is you get to keep the drone at the end of the week!

COCA is one of St. Louis' premiere organizations for new artists and masters alike, creating an innovative environment for campers to learn, perform and appreciate the arts.

Camps available include poetry, dance, drama, sculpture, songwriting, videography and much more. Options include week-long full or half-day sessions.
