Summer. It’s the season breathlessly-anticipated by kids, and quietly-dreaded by parents, thanks to the impossible work/parenting juggle that comes along with it. If you find yourself breaking into a cold sweat as the school year nears its end, Kidcam Summer Camps just might have the answer for you. “Kidcam was built for working parents,” says Mario J. Bazile, president of Kidcam Camp Franchises, LLC, a company with roots dating back to 1974. “With affordable rates, multiple camp locations, and the ability to pay week-to-week, families can build their summers around different experiences all for one registration price.”
It’s a model that seems to be working. Each summer, more than 3,000 happy campers, from preschoolers to 13-year-olds, head to Kidcam to enjoy summers filled with sports, animals, field trips, art, music, skill-building and comradery. The camps are staffed by teachers and students who undergo hours of training, such as Red Cross swim instruction. With 24 locations in Louisiana, Illinois and Alabama, Kidcam campers are never short on options.

Kidcam Oak Mountain is open to campers ages 5-13, and is the ideal summer day camp for locals.

Building a Better Summer Camp Experience
Bazile joined the Kidcam family at the age of 14, working summers first as a volunteer, then a junior camp counselor and eventually a camp director. By working and communicating directly with staff, parents and kids, Bazile feels he gained valuable insight into what works and what does not. “My staff and I understand summer camp better than anyone. We focus on the camp year-round and take what we do very seriously,” said Bazile. “We train and hire excellent employees and build a curriculum to be fresh and engaging each summer. We’ve partnered with first-rate facilities that offer golf, tennis and pools to provide even more diverse experiences.”
