Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Philosophy/Focus of Mes Amies Day Camp?

Our philosophy is for each camper to HAVE FUN! The counselor’s emphasis is on giving each camper individual attention.  This focus is what makes Mes Amies so special and sets it apart from other day camps. The campers love getting to know their counselors and developing a close friendship and bond with them during their days at camp.

Where is camp located?

The light blue house at 1013 Broadway St NOLA 70118.

How is our Application/Deposit handled?                                    

Applications are treated on a “first come, first served" basis.  In the event all spaces are filled when your application is received, you will be notified and given the option of being put on the waiting list.  Preferences will be given to past Mes Amies campers and siblings until February 1st.  All campers will receive confirmation of their enrollment after this date.  (please label this with the camper’s name and session and contact me if you cannot find a way to Zelle). The tuition will be 60% refundable until March 1st, 40% refundable until April 1st, 20% refundable until May 1st, and nonrefundable after May 1st. Sessions will not be able to split or have pro-rated tuition for dates campers do not attend camp. Deposits may be sent via Zelle QuickPay, an ACH, or as a last resort check made to Mes Amies, LLC and mailed or dropped off to 3220 Nashville Street, NOLA 70125. Because of space limitations and in order to preserve the quality of Mes Amies, enrollment for each session and afternoon program will be limited.

How are campers grouped?

Morning Camp is divided into 3 sections by age; then grouped with 5-6 campers per Counselor.  There are Head Counselors in each activity.   If your child has a best buddy she would like to have in her group please make a request and I will try to make that happen. 

Is there an Event at the end of camp?

Yes, the celebration is for the campers only.   It is held on the last Friday of each session.  Awards will be given out by the counselors identifying the quality they feel best describes each one of their campers in their group.  Campers will perform group songs they make up with their counselors describing their days at Mes Amies and what they like most about their days at camp.

How do I become a counselor?

Applications are posted (under the “Applications” tab) at the beginning of January. Thank you for your interest!
