School is rapidly coming to a close and parents everywhere are in the mad dash for summer camps. Spots in many of the city’s camps are filling up quickly so while we’re going to provide you with a list of camps we think are great, we cannot guarantee that spots will be available when you read this.
This is not an exhaustive list of local summer camps. It’s just a taste of the wide variety that Louisville has to offer. Be sure to check with your favorite local organizations to see if they are running any summer programming.
