Winter Break Camp in Las Vegas

My kids

Las Vegas has camps to cover the CCSD winter break, the roughly two weeks kids are off in late December. City rec centers run the most affordable day camps: **Centennial Hills** (YMCA-operated), **Doolittle**, **Mirabelli**, and **Whitney** community centers all offer sports and enrichment days. For something different, **Discovery Children's Museum** and the **Atomic Museum** run holiday STEM camps, **Code Central** in Henderson does coding, and the **Las Vegas Circus Center** teaches aerial and acrobatics. Registration opens weeks ahead and the popular weeks sell out, so book by early December.

Winter break is the scramble every working parent knows: about two weeks off with the holidays in the middle. Las Vegas has good coverage if you book early. Here are the real options by type and price.

When winter break is

Clark County School District (CCSD) breaks for roughly two weeks from late December into early January. Camps usually run the non-holiday weekdays on either side of Christmas and New Year's, so check which specific days each camp covers before you commit, since they are not all the same.

Rec-center day camps

City recreation centers are the budget backbone of any break. The YMCA-operated **Centennial Hills Community Center**, plus **Doolittle**, **Mirabelli**, and **Whitney** community centers, run supervised day camps with sports, games, and crafts at low daily rates. They fill fast because they are the best value in town, so register the week they open enrollment.

Museum and STEM camps

For kids who would rather build than run, **Discovery Children's Museum** and the **Atomic Museum** both run holiday camps with hands-on STEM projects, and **Code Central** in [Henderson](/las-vegas/henderson) runs coding camps. These are a good fit for a rainy, cold-morning week and tend to be smaller than the rec-center camps.

Sports and specialty camps

Single-focus camps keep sporty kids busy: **Darling Tennis Center**, **Indoor 5 Soccer Arena**, and **It's All Volleyball** run break clinics, and the **Las Vegas Circus Center** teaches aerial silks and acrobatics. If your child already trains somewhere, ask that gym first, since many run a break camp for current families before opening it up.

How to book

Two rules. First, book by early December: the cheap rec-center weeks go first. Second, confirm the exact dates and hours, because holiday weeks are short and pickup times vary. Bring a lunch unless the camp says otherwise, and layer up, since desert mornings in December are genuinely cold.
