Each event is held at either of the following state parks in Louisiana:

Lake Fausse Pointe State Park is in an idyllic setting alongside the Atchafalaya Basin near St. Martinville. Participants are housed in waterfront cabins, each of which has a screen porch, a full kitchen, and a fireplace. There are also many sites available for camping in tents or trailers, complete with water and electricity. A primitive group campsite is also available. The park is noted for its wildlife and the natural beauty of its swamps and bayous. It provides a perfect setting in which to experience the true power of Louisiana’s natural environment.
