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!

BREC Magnolia Mound: History Summer Camp was one of my daughter's favorite camps! Her first time…read moreattending was the summer of 2016 and she just completed her 2nd go-around during the 2017 camp season. This camp was definitely interesting for her, since we have been to many historical sites around the country. She loves history and as do I, so this camp was very fitting. From what she told me, it was very hands-on with time period craft projects, open hearth cooking sessions, field trips to other Baton Rouge historical sites and of course a tour of the historic house museum. The grounds are beautiful here, so it was a treat for her to get spend a week being here and diving into not only the history of the plantation, but of Baton Rouge itself! The camp is for kids aged 7-years old to 14-years old and ran from 8:30am - 4:30pm. She has already expressed interest on attending for 2 weeks next summer! BREC Summer Camps are such a great way for kids to continue learning during the summer, build friendships with children around the community and of course stay active (and away from electronic devices). Good old-fashioned fun, while enjoying the outdoors and soaking in Louisiana's culture.

GymFit buying and renovating Foxy's has been the best thing since sliced bread. Seriously. I've…read morebeen a Foxy's member for over 6 years now, and the running joke has been that they've done little if any maintenance to the building in years. Sure enough, GymFit takes over, and immediately improvements begin. Fresh coats of paint on the walls, locker rooms renovated and beautiful now, cleaner pools, and new amenities such as a sand volleyball court. Besides all these amazing improvements, here's what I've always loved about Foxy's/now GymFit. #1 The women's locker room. To me, it's built for a perfect spa day. My favorite trio: sauna, steam room, and hot tub. I love to do all 3 and just soak up the relaxation. There's also showers, lockers, and other standard locker room stuff. The classes! Centergy/Flow has always been my #1 go to favorite class. Taryn is a fabulous instructor, and the music always motivates me and has me singing. GymFit has added so many fun, new classess I can hardly keep up. Salsa, AcroYoga, specialty dance classes, etc. Definitely something for everyone! I typically go at night, and the check-in ladies have always been friendly and helpful. I've used the nursery, and my daughters have always enjoyed it. Overall, gym clientele have always been friendly, so I've made some great connections over the years. Way more I could brag about, but I'll instead encourage you to go check GymFit out yourself.

GymFit is probably the biggest gym in Louisiana! They recently took over what used to be Foxy's…read moreFitness. They made an ordinary, lackluster gym to something extremely extravagant! In the recent months, they re-did a lot of the interior and so many improvements were made. It's now a multi-functional gym that offers many of their original classes + have added the cirque, acrobatics, bootcamp and ninja warrior aspect of it. It's a pretty incredible place. They hosted kids summer camp over the summer (during COVID), while enforcing mask wearing, etc. My family & I have been part of GymFit, since their beginnings at their old location and that was already super fun, so now I am excited about 10x more fun with probably 10x more of the space they now have. The owners are always thinking of awesome ways to make the gym a better experience for all that walk through their doors. Their performance group, Bayou Cirque, puts on electrifying performances in their outdoor area from time to time. Their outdoor area has 2 pools (larger swimming pool and a kids wading pool) + a sand volleyball court. The inside also has large lap pool. It truly is a neat place! If you want to check it out, you must! You'll also see the GymFit team at various outdoor events around the city with their kids ninja warrior course. Thanks for all you've provided to the community, Gymfit!

Ok let me just add one more review for good measure. Several months later - the lap pool is still a…read morecesspool. Seriously, these people take no pride in this place. Everything is disgusting, not just the pool. Any other gym's upkeep is 10x better. It's sad. And do not leave anything here!!!! Forget lost and found. The staff throws it in the trash, like all my swimmer's shampoo/conditioner/body wash, swimsuit, expensive shoes... Yeah, these people are something. Highly recommend you go anywhere but here. I've finally decided it's worth it to travel 30 minutes out of my way instead just to avoid going here.

The classes are challenging so I stay driven to keep going. Most of the people who go to GymFit are regularly there, and I've become great friends with many of them. I highly recommend trying a few classes out!

Love this place! I came here with a group for the first time ever last night. Maria is the…read moreinstructor and she provided light snacks and drinks. It's BYOB which, tbh makes the experience even better. You select a picture from multiple binders available OR you bring in your own & let her know ahead of time. It's a small lil studio so you get hands on instructions from Maria on techniques to use and she provides the canvas and all the supplies. My painting actually came out really nice to my surprise. I'd totally come back to this place again. It's really fun for a GNO or any type of event really.

This place is awesome! I will definitely go back, I had so much fun! Maria is super sweet, so much…read morefun, and very helpful. I don't usually do things I'm not good at and painting is one of them, but my painting turned out great! Maria showed us what techniques to use and walked us through each step, she is amazing!

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. I have a 5 page report filing against them with the licensing board. We were…read moreat this daycare for 2.5 months and had the worst experience especially with the most prized possession, my son. Within 2 months: they allowed my son to be checked out without checking the adult picking up, he was bit 4 times by the same child who stayed at school for the rest of the day (we were told we should feel much worse for the parents of the biter) and they never reported what they did during the day. They promised our own logins to enter the building- that never happened. We were promised that we would get sent home a sheet everyday listing what they did- that happened when they felt like that. They informed at the very beginning that my son had to have a bowel movement everyday and we needed to know about it- they often forgot. The teachers were frequently off, subs were in the rooms all the time that we never even knew who they were or their names. The Director is an immature person who likes to talk about you to everyone in the building. The Associate Director, Amy, ignored us and when I brought it to the Directors attention, she told me that I misunderstood her. How do you misinterpret someone intentionally not speaking to you? We were asked to bring supplies for a party which were not used or returned. They had my son evaluated after my specific instruction to not. They gave out my personal information to an outside source. ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE- STAY AWAY!

My son is 4 and it was a bit much for me to watch him go up and down the slides but he loved it. A few things to take note of: Open play is for 90mins but no one is checking times and it really is enough time for a 4yr old. No outside foods Children wear socks and parents can keep their shoes on. Seems like it would be a nice place to have a birthday party but it could be a bit hidden. $9.50 worked for me on a rainy day-

Overall, it seems to be very well organized and pretty seamless. When the party begins your start in one room with inflatables, halfway through you go to the next with inflatables, and end in the party room where you have cake, and/or pizza, and possibly open gifts. The first inflatable room is nice although there isn't much seating room for the adults who just want to observe. The second room is much better in this regard. Overall it's a nice option for parties in this area of town. My kids seem to reply enjoy their time here.
