Dillard University’s Department of Humanities Launches Theatre/Art Summer Enrichment Camp


Dillard University’s Department of Humanities Launches 

Theatre/Art Summer Enrichment Camp
 
Five-Week Camp to Run From July 9 to Aug. 10 for Just $10 per Day


(New Orleans) The Dillard University Department of Humanities will host its first Theatre/Art Summer Enrichment Camp for students ages 5 to 13 from July 9 to Aug. 10. The program will focus on theater, art and music and run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, with options for after-camp care.


The program aims to assist parents during the period of summer when many camps have ended and they find themselves at an impasse – trying to find somewhere safe, affordable, enriching and easily accessible to place their children until school begins.


Campers will act, paint, write, draw, sing and play musical instruments. They will go swimming, attend dance classes, and take arts-related field trips. Other activities will include movie screenings and talkbacks in which children and counselors discuss the films. The camp will culminate with an event on its final day that will enable students to display their art, musicianship and acting abilities to their friends and families.


The five-week camp costs $250 per child (or just $10 per day), with $25 discounts for siblings. After-camp care is available for an additional cost.


Interested parents (and volunteers and donors) are encouraged to contact Zena Ezeb in the Department of Humanities at (504) 816-4450 or (504) 816-4689 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, to learn more or to enroll their children. Voice messages will be returned promptly.
