SHADOW Camp Dollar Campaign

WE ARE EXTENDING THE DEADLINE FOR OUR SHADOW DOLLAR CAMPAIGN!

We are SO close to our goal of $1000, that we thought it would be a crime to stop before we reached our goal. Please help us reach $1000 by pledging below (it's perfectly safe, through PayPal) or go to our website to pledge www.yesandcamp.org . And thanks to all who have helped us raise over $900 so far!


Over the past 4 years, we have been offering a unique program to the high school students that have been with our program. We call it SHADOW Camp. During the summer, we spend 6 weeks together - 1 week in intensive job training and interpersonal skills, then 3 weeks working at one of our Theatre or iMagination Camps, then we take 2 weeks to let our own creative juices flow at an arts intensive camp of their own.

Help us utilize the power of the internet! Let's make $1000 just $1 at a time! (If everyone who viewed this gave just one dollar, we'd make our goal in 3 days!)

Our Mission
Yes! And… equips children and teens with the tools to become better learners by giving them a stake in their success through involvement in the process of creating through collaboration. Yes! And… uses the arts as a tool for personal and communal discovery, reconciliation, and the construction of strong, positive sense of self and potential. Our goal is to partner with schools, community groups and social agencies in underserved areas to create and sustain Collaborative Arts Education Programs that meet the needs of each specific neighborhood.
