About Our Camp: From our founding in 2001, we’ve believed that arts can change the world and that arts education instills lifelong learning. We believe every child should have the right to a quality arts education regardless of their background.
At Kids Project and Artists Adventurers Camp, the kids create, and we facilitate. Each day, the kids rotate between dance, theater, visual art, and music, with plenty of playtime at the park, and our older campers take CTA and walking field trips.
