Cumbe Dance, Drum & Imagination Summer Camp

About Camp

In Cumbe’s Dance, Drum & Imagination Summer Camp, students ages 3 to 9 will unleash their imagination, express themselves creatively and learn about the diverse world of dance and music with roots reaching back to Africa.  

Camp Director Aja-Nicole Hope — along with Cumbe’s exceptional teaching artists — will lead Sessions 1 and 2, shepherding campers in daily activities including dancing, singing, drumming, tumbling, visual arts (including mask and costume making), and curriculum-based outdoor playtime. At the end of each session, campers will produce a sharing for friends and family showcasing their work.
