Step 1: APPLY HERE

Carlisle Arts Learning Center's CONNECT program is a 4-week 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! If your teen participates in CALC’s ArtWorks program, this camp is the summertime extension of that experience.

Cost: The program is $200 per week or, by filling out the application, cost will be determined by what you can afford. Scholarships will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. A $50 materials fee is required for all participants.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis — we encourage you to apply early!
