WHAT STUDENTS SAY
"My TAWKPIN experience was truly one of a kind! It created a lot of unforgettable memories for me. One of the memories of my Tawkpin experience was our weekly swimming sessions. I love to swim and the swimming sessions were great. I also enjoyed all of the field trips. My favorites were the French Quarter tour and the trip to The 1850's House. TAWKPIN camp was a fun learning experience that I truly enjoyed."
