Review for Alaska Arts Southeast Inc, Sitka, AK, USA

Rating: 4 stars

This develops a camaraderie amongst the camp participants that draws them back each year to continue learning in a postive supportive atmosphere. SFAC embraces students of any skill level and seeks to build them from where they are.
