YPAC Announces New Summer Camp Focused on Community
Early Bird Special Available before April 1
This summer, Your Performing Arts Center (YPAC) will host Camp Community, an impactful youth program celebrating different character-building themes for seven weeks.
“The program aims to expand connections with friends and leaders, and help youth build self-confidence and courage, develop creativity, deepen their compassion for others and celebrate community,” said Amanda Arnold, Camp Champ. “Youth can join us for one week or every week. We’ll wrap up the summer with a Celebrate Community Cook-out and camp performance.”
The camp is open to ages 3 to 18, with a special Leadership in Training program for ages 12 and older. Each day, YPAC instructors will teach music, dance, acting or cheer during the performance hour. Schedules also will include structured lessons based on the weekly theme, and creative stations, outdoor activities, crafts and more. Weekly themes include:
