This Summer, Vermilionville will be hosting our 13th Annual Summer Camp Series in both English and French. Each week is custom-crafted for the age group and language to provide skill-level appropriate demonstrations and hands-on craft opportunities for your camper!
This summer camp is designed for children between the ages 5-12. Throughout the week, campers will learn about the many things that make Acadiana so unique, with activities ranging from historic arts and crafts, outdoor exploration, foodways and more. Each day, campers will partake in hands-on projects that they will take home with them at the end of the week. We’ll do some favorites from past years, such as blacksmithing and tomahawk throwing, as well as lots of exciting, new activities! Campers record their activities and journeys each day in their very own handmade journal.
Camp dates for 2023 are as follows:
Week 1: English; Ages 5-8: June 19 – June 23
Week 2: English; Ages 9-12: June 26 – June 30
Week 3: French; Ages 5-8: July 10 – 14
Week 4: French; Ages 9-12: July 17 – 21

Friday we will finish at 1:30 PM, following the family lunch and end of camp ceremony. We will also provide the campers with breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack from our restaurant, La Cuisine de Maman.
