Students enrolled in the Keys2Life Performing Arts Summer Camp will have opportunities to explore various creative pathways, including beat making, songwriting, dance, theatre, instrumentation and more.
Finding enriching child care options can often be a challenge for parents during the summer months, especially for those looking for programs specifically geared toward the arts.
For the past 12 years, Wayne State University’s “Keys2Life Performing Arts Summer Camp” has provided that outlet to metro Detroit students ages 11–13.
The six-week day camp program, led by Detroit youth nonprofit The Yunion, offers a diverse range of performing arts experiences, led by top Detroit artists, mentors and certified teachers.
Camp Director Darell Campbell Jr. joined The Metro on Tuesday to share more about what this year’s program will entail.
Registration is now open for the day camp, which runs 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, June 30 through Aug. 8 on the campus of Wayne State University. For more information, including rates, visit theyunion.org/camp.
