Camp Avanti
Many of the songs on recordings performed by Genevieve Jereb have been inspired by her work at Avanti - Camp St. Croix in Hudson Wisconsin USA (near the Twin Cities of Minneapolis / St. Paul). Avanti is a camp for children with Sensory Processing Disorders. Therapists throughout the United States volunteer their time annually to support these children for success in a camp experience.
