MKAF Presents The Fabulous Fifties Arts Camp for Kids

This July, All Kinds of Art, an educational outreach program of the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation, presents Kamp Kellywamba, a visual and performing arts summer camp offering  theatre, art, dance, and set design classes for youth. This year’s camp features a fun and festive 1950’s theme.
 
For the first time, Kamp Kellywamba will be conveniently offered at two locations, both Destin Middle School and Northwest Florida State College – Chautauqua Center in DeFuniak Springs. This unique and engaging camp allows kids to explore different modes of expression while rotating through various arts classes. The last day of camp showcases the students’ creative efforts, including the theatre production “One Magic Moment.”  
 
All Kinds of Art champions the arts as a resource to unlock the creative development and improve the self-esteem of children. To witness these students “light up” as they create art and perform theatre and dance is a very rewarding experience.
 
Kamp Kellywamba: The Fabulous Fifties takes place July 13-17 (Destin), and  July 27-31 (DeFuniak Springs), and costs $125 per student ($100 for a second sibling). Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation members receive a 10% discount. Students entering grades 1-8 in the fall of 2015 are eligible. Registration is through the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation, at www.mattiekellyartsfoundation.org, or call Melanie Moore at (850)650-2226. The camp is limited to the first 50 registered students.
 
All Kinds of Art has impacted over 268,000 students in over 57 schools in Okaloosa and Walton Counties through cultural education programs where art curriculum is limited.
