Rouge,

The

parking
lot.
These
spaces
are
reserved
for
our
patients.
Children
ages
6
and
up
are
welcome.
Due
to
the
limited
space
available,
we
ask
that
you
pre-register
your
child
and
notify
us
if
you
cannot
attend
so
we
can
give
your
space
to
someone
else.
Due
to
the
limited
number
of
children
and
adults
that
we
can
accommodate,
we
ask
that
summer
camps
and
children’s
centers
and
groups
bring
no
more
than
10
children
to
each
session.
Please
call
the
LSU
