This is a low-cost, 2-week, full-day program open to girls ages 11-14 and includes lunch and snacks. With an Afrocentric foundation, the camp addresses self-esteem, self-confidence, self-control, self-expression, cultural awareness, and mindfulness via the performing arts. Four classes are offered: vocals, dance, drama, and stage design, and the girls select two classes to focus on for the duration of the camp. Classes are taught by experienced professionals in the respective craft; each class has two instructors. In just 9 days of practice and rehearsals, our Camp Nia girls learn lines, songs, dances, and create a beautiful set; they produce a quality show that is thoroughly enjoyed by family, friends, and other community members.
