AFRO URBAN SOCIETY PRESENTS:
Ndeewo unu! Hevoyi Vabereki! Sannu ku!
Anyị wu Afro Culture Kids Summer Camp (ACK)!, a community-based outdoor Pan-African arts & culture camp catered to kids ages 5-16of African descent. Our camp is full of music, dance, art & crafts, healthy cooking, games, storytelling, languages, outdoor play, and nature/garden exploration. Kids enrolled in this camp are excited about learning new skills, being creative, making and keeping friends, and having lots of fun.
We keep camp small so that our offerings can reach deep! We offer a community-mutual aid sliding scale fee structure, so that in the spirit of our African cultures, all our children can receive the gift of our offering. Kids in our camp relatively independent and are comfortable in facilitated/focused creative/artistic spaces, and have at least one Black/African descent parent/caregiver present in their family.
Through our community our children get exposure and practice in Pan African cultures including Shona, Igbo, Zulu, Kinyarwanda, Hausa, African-American, Yoruba, Afro-Peruvian, and Congolese to name a few.

FEES
$0- $2000/ Session. We operate on a community mutual financial pooling system aka sliding scale. We have spots in different payment tiers, and we hope that with the support of those who have, we can make it possible to cover our costs of operations, and have a dynamic camp experience for all involved.
Please choose a sliding scale rate that best suits your family’s ability to pay. We have limited space at camp, and need everyone’s contribution to make camp happen. Be considerate of keeping lower rates for folks who need it more than you do. If you need to make a contribution that is different from the established sliding scale rates use the ‘Your Rate’ option.
Camp fees cover the cost of attending camp/camp activities, camp t-shirt, and field trips.
