Arts and music programs help build self-confidence.
They help children develop communication and language skills, increase creativity, and improve self-esteem. The arts also expose children to exciting topics like history, geography, math, science, and technology that they might not come into contact with otherwise.
In these camps, kids can explore outside their comfort zone, appraise new situations, think outside the box, express their thoughts and ideas, solve problems, cope with performance and presentation fears, and build trust and self-reliance.
On with the show!
