Presented by: Drum Artz Canada
Summer music and arts Camp for kids 7-14
The Samba Kidz program is an enriching and non-competitive environment where all participants can excel in music and art while exploring and reflecting on issues and ideas that are important to them. Participants move on to perform at various events and festivals around the city. Through performance opportunities and community involvement, participants are able to see themselves as valuable members of their society who make important, positive contributions to their communities.
The Samba Kidz program includes a youth leadership component, which develops the skills of the older members through special projects and responsibilities. The youth leaders participate in curriculum related to critical thinking, communication building, conflict resolution, consensus-based decision-making and reflection of their lived experiences. They are also given the opportunity to lead activities and mentor the younger members. The hands on learning opportunities that DAC offers not only prepare our young leaders with tools to think laterally and creatively, but also to apply their ideas to real life situations.
Children and youth experience a wide spectrum of artistic areas, not seen in most other programs. Youth work together with professionals from Samba Squad and various community artists to develop self-esteem and empower themselves to produce group-inspired performances. Past community artists have included Red Pepper Spectacle Arts, Circle Sing!, Kristen Fahrig and AKA Subliminal.
