Youth Standing Strong Camp
Summer Camp 2025 is Opening Soon
Story Arts. Mentoring. Connecting.
Summer (and Southern Hemisphere winter) 2025 is gearing up.
For the past 5 years, always online, our mentors and hosts from around the world – Ghana, India, Mexico, Sweden, South Africa, Canada, Trinidad and Tabago, the US and more – have mentored youth ages 5-18 to find their voice in storytelling.
Youth and their mentors bring their cultures, languages, and gifts of music, poetry, dance, drama, puppetry, science, and history to the story arts screen and learn together the craft of oral storytelling and the joy of connection.
If you'd like more information about how camp works, or to be on a list to know right away when registration opens, contact Camp Director Andrea Kamens here.
