Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the teens who attend Camp Art will understand their importance to the continued success of Camp Art and learn new skills in leadership and the arts. Evaluation will be conducted by both formal means - surveys to the students and their parents and informal means - sitting down with the artists who teach and asking for input about how to make Camp Art better in the future.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Overall, 50 kids who would have not had any exposure to the arts, can now do some basic drumming, break dance moves and have learned to express themselves with their voices and bodies through their theater experience. It was a great time of growth and fun! Standing ovation from our audience and positive comments from parents. Kids missed having a visual art component.
