In response to declining arts education in public schools and the current state of world affairs, BroadArts brings back our very popular Summer Peace Arts Camp. Our unique youth arts program focuses on using the art of performance to explore concepts of peace and freedom. Carolyne Haycraft is again our Program Coordinator and Head Teacher for the camps.
The camps will focus on creating situations and experiences that enable children to explore what it means to create a world that fosters peace, love and inclusion. Through the process of creating live performance and theatre, students will experience the joy of collaboration and creation. Read more on the Summer Peace Arts Camp page!
