Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

40 campers that are differently abled and neurotypical will attend 2 weeks of camp and successfully put on a showcase of musical theater that highlights their strengths. In addition, campers will work in diverse groups for 60 hours during the 2 week camp to increase creative expression and the ability to relate to others through art. Audience and student surveys will be collected, teaching artist feedback will be collected and parent feedback will also be collected by email survey.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Post-camp survey of parents showed that 100% of caregivers and parents felt positive about the experience their loved one had at Camp Art for All. 95% of students responded they would like to participate in the future in another Camp Art for All session. 20 students, 5 teaching artists, and 5 staff participated in the creation of an original work at the end of the 2 weeks of Camp Art for All.
