Camp 2009 was a great success. All of us look forward to next summer. Special thanks to all of our teachers, teaching artists, and volunteer camp counselors, Bakari Smith and Justin Smith. These two young men gave 300 and 250 hours of volunteer hours, respectively.

  
                         

Our Summer Multicultural Arts Camp is an extension of our school outreach program, Passport to Understanding. Through weekly sessions targeting specific cultures, camp participants will be introduced to dance, drum, art, language, games and sports from around the world. Students will become familiar with the sights, sounds, tastes, arts and traditions of a multitude of cultures, with frequent pauses for dialogue and reflection on the similarities of our diverse human family.
