Notes

At our Kenner campsite, we provide a large air-conditioned/heated tent that is divided into men's and women's sections. There are indoor shower/bathroom facilities, and laundry facilities in a campground setting. We also can usually accommodate RV's please call first. We no longer have water hook ups, electrical hook up is to a 15 amp circuit.

The tent has multiple outlets for cell phone chargers, laptop chargers, etc. Internet access is also available to team members through a desktop computer, as well as a wireless network for personal laptops. Basic sleeping cots are provided and some single-size sleeping mats/mattresses are available, though team members are asked to bring their own bedding.

Janell Hirschoff is the coordinator for volunteer teams. She can be reached by email at janell@mercyresponse.com or by phone at 504.467.3257x218.
