This camp is sponsored by a Kenneth Reams Arts for Justice Grant.
Hip-Hop Camp offers a dynamic and empowering program, where teens will harness the energy of hip-hop and rap to transform their feelings and struggles into powerful lyrics. Students interested in learning songwriting, content creation, and visual storytelling, will be taught how to fully execute ideas in songwriting and recording and video making.
Through the beats and rhymes of this vibrant genre, participants will discover the art of articulating and working through heightened emotions. They will learn to craft verses that tell their unique stories through rhythm. In this program, the mic becomes a tool for emotional empowerment and creative liberation.
Parent or guardian must read, complete, and submit the summer camp manual by the first day of camp. Download here.
