MACH CAMP, the camp for every child, gives
special needs children and their non-disabled peers the
chance to attend classes in the arts, swim, go on field
trips and make lasting friendships. Professional
instructors teach art, music, theater and dance such that
everyone participates. Campers and aides join in a unique
end of camp performance to demonstrate new found skills.
MACH/AILEYCAMP® provides at-risk preteens instruction
in ballet, modern, jazz and African dance complemented with
personal development and communication classes. Instructors
from the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre teach boys and girls the
four “A’s”-Acceptance, Attention, Appreciation and
Affection. This is the core of teaching self-discipline,
respect for others, creative thinking and positive
self-expression.
NEIGHBORHOOD STUDIOS provides an ‘on the job’
experience for artistically gifted teens. This program is
an opportunity to serve an apprenticeship with Master
Artists in a working environment. The young artists who are
chosen to participate receive a stipend during the six week
program. |
