Business Review
KIDS CAMP @ LE VIEUX VILLAGE, OPELOUSAS, LOUISIANA
My son experienced the Summer Kids Camp at Le Vieux Village and absolutely loved it. There were so many fun activities and lessons included that he really enjoyed. We enjoyed the end of camp performance as well and seeing how much they'd learned and having so much fun. His older sister who also has musical experience has the opportunity this year to attend as a teen Counselor in Training, which he is also looking forward to hopefully participating in a couple of years as well continuing the tradition.
We highly recommend this camp to any family of young music-enthusiasts that are willing and eager to learn more about the culture.
