As a pro, your cousin (by marriage) should have known what uses are covered by the ASCAP license. Video of the camp promotes the camp, and therefore is for commercial purpose. Generally, if you use a music track as a soundtrack to a video for a commercial purpose, you'd better have a license for that.
On the other hand, if the video just recorded an event at the camp, and music was playing at the event, and got recorded on the posted video, then...??
Ok, the law is broken.
