Calling All HEROES!
&nbsp;
For 25 years, our Summer Arts Camp has provided children from our communities and Camden with an engaging and safe recreational experience centered on creative play, professional instruction, and enrichment. In fact, our camp won Best Summer Camp in SJ Magazine&rsquo;s Readers Poll 2009.
&nbsp;
We are delighted to spring into this summer&rsquo;s theme of &ldquo;Imagination Encircles the World.&rdquo; Taken from a quote by Einstein, it herald in a summer of discovery, expression, and growth for our campers!
&nbsp;
Approximately 250 children participate each summer, and nearly half of these children are Camden residents who attend on scholarship. This assistance is made possible through the generosity of our corporate donors and individuals. The children have a great time painting, singing, playing music, and creating clay sculptures&mdash;all while making new friends and meeting their neighbors.
&nbsp;
The goal for the summer of 2011 is to offer 110 scholarships. To date 75% of the  <a href="http://www.perkinscenter.org/events_and_news/Be-A-Camp-Hero-and-Sponsor-a-Camper-this-Summer">...Read more</a>]]></description>

We Thank You for Another Amazing Summer Arts Camp!
Time flies when you are having fun! Campers had a blast during our Heroes, Myths &amp; Legends camp this past summer. Over the course of our 8 week summer program, children furthered their imaginations by exploring different heroes, myths, and legends through various art mediums while gaining social skills and making friends!
Campers enjoyed creating handmade Native American Kachina dolls, sculpting Chinese dragons and Mexican sun plaques, designing Greek vessels made of handmade paper, painting and drawing illustrations, inventing their very own superheroes, constructing heroes and mythological creatures created in clay, making instruments, composing and assembling their own mythological books, singing tales from around the world, choreographing dances to African and Cuban folklore, and performing American Legends, Greek  <a href="http://www.perkinscenter.org/events_and_news/We-Thank-Our-Summer-Camp-HEROES">...Read more</a>]]></description>
