CONNECT Summer Program Application

Carlisle Arts Learning Center's CONNECT program is a community-engaged creative summer camp. The program focuses on empowering teens, of all backgrounds and abilities, by inspiring creativity and social interaction in a supportive environment. Through projects, field trips, and hands-on activities with local community partners in the arts, sciences, and humanities, students in this program build self-confidence and appreciation for collaboration. Prior experience in art is not a requirement to participate in this camp, but interest in creative exploration is a must!
