Ongoing research has revealed that engaging with the arts is essential to the human experience. Almost as soon as motor skills are developed, children communicate through artistic expression. The arts challenge us with different points of view, compel us to empathize with “others,” and give us the opportunity to reflect on the human condition.
Furthermore, the creative arts experience is proven to boost critical thinking skills, teaches students to take the time to be more careful and thorough in how they observe the world. The creative arts also provide challenges for learners at all levels, and connects students with their own culture as well as with the wider world. Yet, while we recognize art’s transformative impacts, its place in K-12 education has become increasingly tenuous.
The Creative Emergence Life Enrichment (CEL) program was created to enhance the social development and creative expression of children and youth through merging visual and performing arts, peer education, physical fitness, and wellness education to improve the quality of life. To kick off this initiative, several teaching artists and community organizations have formed an alliance to deliver a ten week summer camp May 18th - July 14th.
Culminating with an artist showcase on Friday, July 14th at 6pm, featuring camp participants and teaching artists.
* Scholarships available
