They got karate lessons from David Vincent, went on fun field trips: Young Chef's Academy, Jazzercise studio, New Orleans Aquarium - and were transported in luxurious charter buses. The camp took place was at Jefferson United Methodist Church, which has ample space for all the campers and a beautiful playground for them to play on. The director, Ms. Sarah, had fun projects for the to work on lead by camp counselors. She received two camp t-shirts and we even to to attend a talent show put on by the group at the end of each week. She met new friends and made some unforgettable memories! The camp was so well-organized and the kids were entertained all day. They also encouraged the kids to be reading this summer by providing fun incentives. I did not have these fun summer camps to attend as a child, so I was so thrilled to get her into a variety of camps this summer. This was the first time she did Kids-Possible and she is already asking to do it again next year. Check their website: http://kid-possible.com/ for a schedule of their camps and get them involved! I am a huge advocate of keeping kids busy and active. Sitting, playing video games and watching TV all summer gets them nowhere! So, major hi-fives to the Kid-Possible team for all their hard work and hosting a fabulous camp! It was very affordable for a week-long. You even have the option of paying for the whole summer. The kids just bring their lunch and be ready to have a superb time!

No registration fees, no long-term contracts, pay day-by-day/weekly/monthly. This is the most flexible camp with the best prices I have seen in Baton Rouge. The staff here is phenomenal... family-owned and super friendly! Loooove them!! This is a great place for those young, aspiring gymnasts! We went there for a birthday party and was so impressed by the facility! I have never been to a genuine gymnastics gym! Not only does the facility offer birthday parties (which we went to), but it also offers open gym times, kids night out, holiday & summer camps, etc. Attending the birthday party encouraged me to sign my 4-year old up for gymnastics! She enjoyed the birthday party so much that she kept on asking me to return. Baton Rouge offers many things for kids to do apart from their parents and if you are interested in gymnastics in placing your child in gymnastics, I highly recommend this place! As for birthday parties, the attendant is very interactive with the children during the party and has them participate in several different activities the gym has to offer. Additionally, there is a huge playground up front that the kids absolutely love, so after they have cake and ice cream, they can get in there to burn some energy! See you at Elite Gymnastics!!

One thing that stood out is that this place is so clean especially with how much foot track and kids come through. The staff was 1st class and super friendly.

We almost spent 3 hours in the museum because there was so much to do and our daughter wore herself out. This definitely needs to be on top of your list if you have kids and want something to do.

Also appreciate that they don't let in adults who are not accompanying children - a nice safety check! Everything was clean, fresh, and the staff were all so friendly! Definitely recommend to anyone w young children!

For this visit, that would be attending a performance of the Baton Rouge Symphony and admiring the Old Capital complex as I walked there and back again. The evening's performance included: - Handel: Zakok the Priest (Coronation Anthem #1) - Bottesini: Concerto, Double Bass, No. 2, B Minor - Brahms: Symphony No. 2. op. 73, D Major. Here were my thoughts (in no particular order) during the concert: 1. The old Charley Tuna Sunkist commercial - Having good taste for being here? 2. Hall is a little over half full and a lot of these folks are older than me! 3. Loved the Handel Chorus. Time to pull out the Messiah CD for the Holidays! 4, John Madere was "The Bomb" on the Contrabass during the Battesini piece. 5. Only got a little sleepy during Brahms. 6. You know, this is a really nice performance space! 7. Best seats are lower level - middle rows. 8. Conductor sure has some energetic gestures! 9. Entire concert (including intermission) lasted only 90 minutes or so. 10. A community treasure. I look forward to being in town sometime in the future for another BRSO performance.

The master series showcases some pretty talented guest musicians. One i loved was Wicked Divas. Two women from broadway came and sang with the orchestra. They were amazing! Even Kristen Chenowith has sang with them. I got to see a very talented violinist come play with the orchestra and an amazing piano player. Christmas time has a lot to offer as well. Home for the Holidays is a great Christmas performance for the whole family. It features a selection of new and old Christmas songs. They also have the sleigh ride selfie. When they play sleigh ride, you take a selfie with the orchestra and sleigh in the background and post it to the BRSO page. My favorite Christmas performance is the brass playing at St. Joseph's Cathedral downtown. It's a beautiful church and the music is so pretty. At the end, the orchestra goes up by the majestic organ in the balcony and plays Hallelujah. It gives me chills every time. The orchestra also has a Christmas performance at Houmas House every year. Then how can you miss the Nutcracker, a Tale from the Bayou. It's a must see for me every year. Beautiful dancing and music! Then in the spring, the orchestra does symphony pops. I went to the one at Rural life museum and they played music from the movies. We sat under the stars and listened. The symphony is a great place to go!

October 2016, my daughter began the road to the "Kick It Out" dance recital that took place this January. Wow, what an awesome program for the boys and girls of the community! I saw unification of different ethnic groups and I loved the diversity! From the moment the classes began, it was basically a rehearsals every Sunday until the final shows in January. My daughter had never done a dance class before, but enjoyed this very much. During the week of the final performances, they moved them to the Manship Theatre to prepare, rehears and learn their spots. The supercharged dance performance by both professional dancers and the children was very entertaining. I was thoroughly impressed by the compilation of the music and the dance numbers. Oh my gosh, what a perfect evening; the both times I saw the show. My daughter loved being on stage so much that she went from not being interested in participating next year to confident that she wants to participate next year. This was amazing and I am so glad that Of Moving Colors does this, so kids who don't participate in dance lessons throughout the year get to be part of something huge in the community! Thank you, OMC!

My almost…read more5 y/o daughter said she wants to go there everyday ;) It's nothing fancy, just a huge open gym space with lots of fun equipment in the back. My daughter is doing dance camp, and here are the reasons I love this place so far: 1) The owners and dance teachers are very approachable and seem to love what they do. 2) You can sign up for one day a week, and you pay each time you bring your child - just $40 per day or a discount if you buy more at a time. This is really the best part because with summertime comes lots of vacationing, and I know I can't commit to every Monday this summer and really don't want to have to keep her there for an entire week. It's so stress-free not having a contract or having to pay up front :) 3) The structure of the day: 2 hours total of gym time, arts and craft time, lunch time (bring your own), movie/cool down time, another structured sport-type activity...all in an 8 hour day! Oh and my daughter is certain her ballet and tap days are over ;) She already came home today on her first day showing us all her new moves...she never once did that in dance class.
