Spartanburg Summer Program

A Two week Creative Summer Program

This summer, we aim to engage 25 students in exploring their creativity through dance, YouTube, and filmmaking. Participants can produce their own shows, choreograph their own dances, and express themselves through various artistic mediums. Whether it's creating the next viral TikTok sensation or inventing a new dance move, this camp is designed to stimulate students' creativity and prevent the summer slump.

Students will edit their projects using real photography cameras, Podcast gear, and computers donated by Smitha Lee! We can’t wait to see you.
