We are thrilled to be opening a "hybrid Media Arts Camp" this summer, meeting the essential needs of young people for creative self-expression and connection with their peers. We've redesigned our curriculum to assure that it is as youth-centered and interactive as possible—online and in-person, following public health guidelines.

Help us fund full scholarships to 100% of low-income families, healthy snacks, creative tools for use at home, and 1:1 support to help families thrive: http://ow.ly/Ga3050A6jhN
