Action Arts Summer camp is a creative and engaging arts learning experience for kids 5-12.

Teachers College, Columbia University, is proud to host the 2013 Action Arts Summer Camp for children ages 5-12. The camp runs from Monday through Friday, 9am-3pm, August 5-16. Each day, campers join arts education professionals to engage in hands-on discovery in music, art, dance/drama and playwriting. Through the use of a developmentally appropriate curriculum, campers engage in exciting theme-based interdisciplinary activities that encourage inquiry and cooperation.

The program cultivates freedom, awareness and expression while nurturing children’s independent voices. The camp also promotes multicultural self-expression, listening, composing, moving, dancing, drawing, sculpture, collage and creative writing.
A typical day at the camp includes integrated emphasis on all arts disciplines, story time, outdoor and indoor free play, snack time, and water play.

Instructors at Action Arts Summer Camp are experienced educators and artists who are or have been part of Teachers College Art, Music, Dance or English programs. They are adept at working with all children and accommodating various abilities.
