Explore the Traditions, Customs and Culture of Native
Americans
Camp Coushatta is a unique, hands-on experience where the traditions, customs
and culture of the Coushatta's are shared by the Coushatta youth with children
of other cultures, helping them acquire a clearer understanding of the Coushatta
Tribe. Although camp is geared toward youth ages 6 through 12 (our visitors
range in age from 5 to 85), it can be a wonderful family experience. Camp can be
experienced fully in one day, however, visitors are welcome to return.
The camp includes a cooking demonstration, basketry, drum making, a weapons &
tools display, jewelry making, and a nature station. Visitors can also enjoy a
canoe ride, games of tomahawk throwing and archery, a spear throwing contest,
storytelling, toys and games, and our newest attraction, a nature walk. The
morning ends with Native American dancing held at our new dance arena.
Camp Coushatta is free of charge. Concession items are sold, as well as
souvenirs.
