LAFAYETTE, La. (KATC) — A new summer program aimed at promoting youth wellness, STEM education and leadership development is set to launch in Acadiana this June.
Fit + Fuel + Future Camp, hosted at Code + Play on Johnston Street, will offer children and teens ages 8 to 16 a unique experience that combines beginner coding and STEM activities with fitness programming, nutrition education, mindfulness practices and confidence-building exercises.
Organizers say the camp was created to provide families with a positive summer opportunity that helps young people stay active, develop healthy habits and gain exposure to future-focused learning experiences.
The camp is designed to encourage physical wellness, strengthen communication skills and foster leadership development through hands-on activities and interactive learning.
Participants will engage in coding projects, fitness and wellness sessions, nutrition lessons, emotional wellness activities and team-building experiences designed to support personal growth in a fun and supportive environment.
Camp sessions will be held:
• June 15-18, 2026
