Covington is one of those places where backyard birthday parties are basically a competitive sport.
Big yards, great neighborhoods, and a community that shows up when you invite them. Add in the Louisiana heat from May through August and you’ve got a recipe for the kind of party your kid talks about for a year…unitl the next party!
Since 2019, The Jump Off has been delivering bounce houses, water slides, foam parties, and obstacle courses all over Covington. We’re not just a company that drops stuff off and leaves. We do all the events for Christ Episcopal School, Stone Creek Club and Spa, Tchefuncte Country Club, First Baptist Covington, Camp Old Hickory, Hannan Summer Camp, Coquille Summer Camp, and the annual Avala crawfish boil. We do Bevolo Gas and Electric Lights events. We run five locations in a single day every October for the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office Night Out Against Crime across Covington, Mandeville, Bush, and Slidell.
When we say we know Covington, we mean it ✊🏼
If you’re planning a large scale company party or a backyard birthday party in Covington this year, this guide covers the most popular rentals, what they cost, when to book, and how to make it easy on yourself.
Why Covington Is Built for Backyard Birthday Parties
Covington has something a lot of places don’t…large backyards!
Whether you’re near the historic district, in Tchufuncte Country Club, in one of the neighborhoods off Highway 190, or tucked back in a quiet subdivision, there’s a good chance your backyard can fit something that will absolutely make your kid’s birthday unforgettable.
We’ve set up everything from small combo bounce houses in tighter yards to full 75-foot dual-lane water slides at Covington estates. We’ve done foam parties for summer camps, water days for Christ Episcopal, and field days for SSA and Pitcher Junior High. The Jump Off handles it all.in Covington!
And if you’ve ever been to Art in the Park and thought “someone should bring a some inflatable games to this festival,” well, someone did. 😄
Most Popular Party Rentals in Covington
Here’s how our inventory ranks in terms of what Covington families actually book:
👉 Bounce House Rentals
The classic. There is no simpler way to keep kids entertained for three straight hours while the adults actually enjoy a conversation. Bounce houses are our most cost-effective rental and the backbone of what we do.
Perfect for younger kids, smaller yards, and parties where you want something easy and reliable.
Combo Bounce Houses with Water Slides
A bounce house with an attached slide that runs wet or dry. Most Covington parents call these “the combos” and they are consistently our most booked rental category from May through August.
Dry combos are great for fall and winter parties. Wet combos in June are basically a rite of passage on the Northshore. LOL.
👉 Water Slide Rentals
This is where things get serious.
The Jump Off has over 40 water slides available, including multiple 27-foot tall dual-lane slides that are 75 feet long. Our flagship slide, the Tiki Plunge, is the most requested rental we own. Two kids race down side by side from 27 feet up. It is, objectively, a lot of fun.
Nothing says Covington summer party like a water slide in the backyard. Camp Old Hickory figured that out. Hannan Summer Camp figured that out. Christ Episcopal figured that out. Now you know too. 🎉
👉 Foam Parties
Foam parties have generated more “BEST BIRTHDAY EVER” moments than anything else we offer.
A foam cannon blasts safe, non-toxic foam into your backyard while kids dance around in it. We also offer colored foam, gender reveal foam, and glow foam for night events.
Christ Episcopal’s foam day is one of our favorite events of the year. The kids go absolutely feral in the best possible way. If you haven’t booked a foam party yet, you’re missing out.
👉 Obstacle Course Rentals
We carry obstacle courses up to 60 feet long. Great for older kids, competitive families, and anyone who wants to settle an argument about who’s actually the fastest in the neighborhood.
Field days at SSA and Pitcher Junior High have taught us that middle schoolers take obstacle courses very, very seriously. LOL.
👉 Mobile Mini Golf
We launched Mini Golf on the Go in April 2025 and it has taken off fast. We started with 9 holes and now have 18, with plans to keep expanding.
We’ve done mini golf events for Avala, First Baptist Covington, Southeastern, and the New Orleans Pelicans. It’s a great add-on for parties that want something different, and it works for all ages from 4 to 84.
How Much Do Bounce House and Water Slide Rentals Cost in Covington?
Pricing varies based on size, unit type, and time of year. Here’s a general baseline:
- Bounce houses typically start around $150 to $250 for a full day rental
- Combo bounce house and water slide units typically run $200 to $299
- Mid-size dedicated water slides run $299 to $399
- Large and XL slides like the Tiki Plunge run $399 and up
- Foam party packages start around $299
The Jump Off is based off Highway 1077 near Madisonville, so delivery to Covington is always free.
Peak weekends like July 4th and Memorial Day may carry slightly higher rates due to demand. We’ll always be upfront about that when you get a quote.
When Should You Book?
Earlier than you think, especially if your party falls between May and early August.
Here’s what the Covington booking calendar actually looks like for us:
- May is huge. The first hot weekend flips a switch and everyone books at once.
- June stays consistently busy all month.
- July 4th weekend is our Christmas. We are fully booked weeks in advance every single year.
- The rest of July stays busy right up until school starts around August 10th.
Our honest recommendation:
- May, June, and July parties: Book 3 to 4 weeks out minimum
- July 4th weekend: Book as early as humanly possible
- Fall and spring parties: More flexible, but weekends still fill faster than people expect
Lock in your date. You can adjust details later. You cannot get a sold-out Saturday back.
Where Can You Set Up in Covington?
More places than you’d think.
Backyard grass is our most common setup by far. Covington has great yards and we take full advantage of that.
Driveways and hard surfaces work too. We use sandbags instead of ground stakes. If there’s a deep splash pool involved, we bring padding for underneath it automatically.
Venues and event spaces. Stone Creek Club and Spa, Tchefuncte Country Club, First Baptist Covington, and plenty of other Covington venues have had The Jump Off on site. If your event is at a venue that requires a certificate of insurance, we provide that regularly. Just ask.
Parks. We set up at Fairview Riverside State Park in Madisonville regularly and are experienced working with park requirements. If your party is at a Covington park, reach out and we’ll figure it out together.
Schools and summer camps. Christ Episcopal School, SSA, Pitcher Junior High, Camp Old Hickory, Hannan Summer Camp, and Coquille Summer Camp are all part of our regular rotation in Covington. If you’re a PTA chair, events coordinator, or camp director, call us directly and we’ll take care of you.
Safety: How The Jump Off Handles Every Covington Setup
Anchoring. Grass setups use ASTM F2194-compliant steel stakes. Hard surface setups use sandbags. Nothing leaves the ground unsecured.
Wind and weather. At 20 mph sustained winds or 25 mph gusts, inflatables come down. We monitor weather the morning of every delivery and contact you proactively if conditions are questionable.
Supervision. Standard rentals are drop-and-go. An adult must supervise at all times. We offer staffed attendants as an add-on for larger events, school field days, and summer camps.
Weight and capacity limits. Every unit has posted limits and we go over them at setup. The short version: don’t mix toddlers and teenagers in the same bounce house at the same time.
Insurance. The Jump Off carries full commercial general liability insurance. Certificates of insurance are available for venues, HOAs, schools, and event spaces. We issue them regularly for Covington events.
Frequently Asked Questions: Covington Birthday Party Rentals
How far in advance should I book a rental in Covington? For summer parties, 3 to 4 weeks minimum. July 4th weekend specifically, book as early as possible. We turn people away every year on that weekend and it never gets easier to deliver that news.
Is delivery to Covington free? Yes. The Jump Off is based near Madisonville off Highway 1077. Delivery to Covington and all of St. Tammany Parish is always free.
Do you set up at venues and event spaces in Covington? Absolutely. We work regularly with Stone Creek Club and Spa, Tchefuncte Country Club, First Baptist Covington, and others. If your venue needs a certificate of insurance, we’ve got you covered.

Christ Episcopal School, SSA, Pitcher Junior High, Camp Old Hickory, Hannan Summer Camp, and Coquille Summer Camp are all part of our regular Covington event calendar.

What’s your rain policy? Light rain doesn’t always cancel a party. Lightning and high winds do. We’ll contact you the morning of your event if weather looks like a problem and work with you to reschedule. We’d rather move your date than put your family in a bad situation.
