K.R.E.W.E. Center Advanced Learning Lab 
Learn how to Start & Run a Krewe from the oldest place in the Western Hemisphere. These skills come from real captains, club leaders and board members, with real experience. We have taken that knowledge which comes only from experience and combined it into courses that can truly educate. You'll learn the small things that can keep you afloat even during those hard times. 

   These are the courses that will give you every detail, as done by real world captains from some of the oldest krewes in the world. There are none older, or better, than in our root style of Carnival! This is the way it has been done for decades! These men and women know how! Every definition, every piece of a subject is necessary for the successful startup beyond just holding a party!
