Unleash your inner rock star with a unique adult rock and roll music camp experience in downtown Lafayette. It's brought to you by Danny DeVilliers, who designed Good Time Rock Retreat as a “transformative rock camp designed specifically for adults.”
De Villiers has been a professional musician for over 20 years and owns The Music Room teaching studio. He believes Good Time Rock Retreat is a way for adults to have fun. “This camp is for adults 21 years of age and older,” De Villiers said. “Kids have so many places to express themselves, but it's rare for adults to find something that allows them to truly be free.”
