Gulf Coast youngsters from six to twelve years of age will have the opportunity to experience Coast Episcopal School’s Seemann Makerspace, learn to cook, explore music and art, and participate in sports and games when the independent school located in Long Beach opens its 25-acre campus this summer for Camp Gumbo.
A continuation of the school’s famous lagniappe program, which offers enrichment courses throughout the school year, Camp Gumbo is more of a smorgasbord of activities, according to Kim McWilliams, CES Principal. “While our school year lagniappe programs are specific to one subject area, Camp Gumbo will be a feast of summer fun, packed with an array of fun and creative indoor and outdoor activities.” McWilliams added that, in addition to filling a need for summer youth programming along the Gulf Coast, school leaders see Camp Gumbo as an opportunity to introduce new families to the educational opportunities for which the 70+ year old academic institution has become renowned.
