About
Kids Camp is a week of music, dance, singing, games, arts, and recreation, along with learning some Louisiana French and making new friends. The camp closes with a family showcase performance of Kids Camp bands followed by a dance party celebration. Campers are encouraged to bring their own musical instruments, and loans are possible through Folk Roots for use at camp and through local music store rentals for take-home use.
