The Focus on Youth Summer Camp is in-person programming that focuses on a variety of skills through music, visual arts, poetry and dance.
Each day begins with a dedicated focus on literacy. Numeracy is embedded throughout the daily activities. The camp will include faith-based programming and daily sessions that will work to create a positive and reflective self-image while having fun using arts-based tools of education. The camp will engage and empower youth through artistic expression to be role models and leaders for their communities.
Each week, students will have presentations from professional artists and community members representing a variety of art forms and skills. Through interactive workshops, these individuals will:
- Share their unique gifts and talents with students
- Give students opportunities to develop and practice the related art form and skill
The camp will also have additional support from a variety of service providers who will offer weekly energetic programming that will get students active and engaged in learning.
Focus on Youth is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Education to support non-profit groups in delivering summer programs that keep young people safe and active. The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board offers a unique, in-person summer experience for youth.
