Our goal of $5000 will fund camper scholarships. The actual cost per camper is $400 per week. Registration is limited and, in the interest of equity, at least half of the spots are reserved for campers who identify as low-income and/or are of Black, Indigenous, and Latinx heritage. 79% of our campers receive scholarships.
Your support makes it possible for under-resourced students to attend Art in the Garden’s six-week summer camp.
Art in the Garden’s programs seek to address the impacts of childhood adversity and trauma on health and learning. Art in the Garden is LGBTQ+ led, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, liberatory, and joy-centered. In the last few years states have advanced a record number of bills that attack LGBTQ rights, especially transgender youth. Art in the Garden’s work to create spaces that are inclusive, welcoming, and foster belonging for trans and gender diverse individuals is especially vital in the face of this continued legislation. We want, in the words of Margaret Walker, “to fashion a world that will hold all the people.” More information here.
