Las Cruces Offers Thanksgiving Break Camp for Kids with Fun, Food, and Learning

Parents in Las Cruces looking for a way to keep their kids active and engaged over the Thanksgiving break have a fresh option this year. The Las Cruces Parks and Recreation department is offering a three-day camp designed to fill the short school hiatus with fun and learning from Nov. 25 to Nov. 27 at Meerscheidt Recreation Center, located at 1600 E. Hadley Ave. The camp promises a variety of activities, from arts and crafts to games that are suitable for children from kindergarten through fifth grade, according to the

City of Las Cruces

.

While giving kids the opportunity to expend their energy and creativity, the camp also provides meals, specifically breakfast and lunch. For a modest fee of $20 per child, parents can ensure their little ones are not only entertained but also well-nourished. Children attending the camp are encouraged to bring a reusable water bottle, and, when they tire from all the activities, they can rest comfortably with their pillow and blanket.

With registration having opened on Nov. 15, spots are likely to fill fast and will remain open until they are all taken. For convenience, interested parties can sign up either online by visiting the city’s website or by stopping by during regular business hours at several locations, including Parks and Recreation Department Administrative office, the Meerscheidt Recreation Center, Las Cruces Regional Aquatic Center, and Frank O’Brien Papen Community Center.

The camp’s hours from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. accommodate most working parents’ schedules, providing a welcome reprieve during a busy time of year. With limited space, the program emphasizes not just the play but also the practicalities, establishing a structured experience for the children amidst the anticipation of the holiday festivities. Full details on registration and camp specifics can be found by attending one of the various registration locations within Las Cruces.
