Item Description
West Side Y Arts Camp is an experiential summer of fun for ages 5.5 - 12. Arts Camp is a vibrant community-building experience in which campers explore their own creative expression in a safe and supportive environment. Children are grouped by age and together they take 5 classes each in dance, drama, vocal music, and visual arts per 2 -week session. That adds up to 20 hours of arts instruction every 2 weeks!
The summer is divided into four two-week sessions, each with its own organizing theme. The overarching THEME for SUMMER 2015 is the FIVE SENSES and how the senses impact artistic processes such as revision, reflection, risk-taking, collaboratoion, creative decision-making, improvisation, and more.. The senses (hearing, sight, taste, smell, and touch) will inform the curriculum focus of each art form. Campers learn different styles and techniques in all 4 art genres all summer long with a focus on foundational skill building, development of original material, rehearsal, and performance.
At the end of weeks 2, 4, 6 and 8, each group performs in an informal showcase for family and friends! In addition to arts classes, all campers swim twice a week, go on arts-related field trips around NYC, and, weather permitting, enjoy Central Park for lunch, fresh air, yoga, and team-building creative activities. For more information about Arts Camp please call the Amanda Selwyn, Community Arts Director at 212-912-2635.
