TrICA designs arts camps that are more than art – they are experiences children have together. We provide integrated explorations of literature, art, music, dance theater, and culture. We make art, but we also teach kindness and respect, and an appreciation for differences in others. At the end of the day, our kids have gained new ways to express themselves, new respect for their own potential, and a more gracious perspective about the gifts of others. And at the same time, they have produced a remarkable, artistic product of which the can be proud.

Each camp is taught by a lead Teaching Artist with assistants available as needed. Dance classes have live musicians. Course length ranges from two to three hours in most cases. The rhythm of camp is busy, but allows for focus and concentration. Healthy snacks are always provided. On Saturday, the students will give a public performance, either at the Farmers Market downtown, or at the camp’s location.
