Where Discovery Meets Fun; Where Art Meets Nature
Kids look forward to something fun to do in the summertime. We can’t always arrange to take a full-on family vacation, but we want something planned for our child to help reduce boredom and cabin fever. What more could a kid ask for than a fun-filled summer camp experience? Camp will give your child something to look forward to and something to talk about after it’s all done. It doesn’t get much better than great activities, lifelong friends, increased confidence, and so much more.
There are so many different cool summer camps to choose from. However, if your child is looking for the most memorable and fun camp around, and you are looking for a camp that will help your child develop, discover and create…then Pinecrest Gardens has the camp for you!

SHE JAZZ PROJECT SUMMER CAMP
FREE
Recognizing a gender disparity in jazz, Pinecrest Gardens, South Florida’s
Cultural Arts Park, will launch the nation’s first She Jazz Project this summer. The
unique mentorship program will encompass a diverse group of young jazz musicians, ages 14 to 20, from across South Florida, who will rehearse together once a week, and study and perform, side-by-side, with renowned female mentor artists.
Since its origins, jazz has been grossly underrepresented by women. Through this innovative program, our goal is to help bridge the gender gap in jazz and create a transformative experience for emerging female artists. The She Jazz Project is a safe, welcoming space for young ladies (identifying, transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming players) of all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds to discover their voice and be heard through the power of female mentorship.
The goal: Create a platform to encourage local, young musicians to pursue meaningful experiences in jazz.
Applications are due June 11.
For information visit www.pinecrestgardens.org/shejazz.
WHO WILL BE THE LEAD MENTOR IN THE SHE JAZZ PROJECT?
The She Jazz Project will bring three-time Grammy Award-winning jazz drummer, composer, producer, educator and 2021 NEA Jazz Master Terri Lyne Carrington to spearhead the project as artistic director. Joining Terri, the program directors, designing the curriculum and mentoring/conducting rehearsals each week, will be internationally recognized jazz vocalist and Chair of Jazz Vocal Studies at Florida International University, Lisanne Lyons, and jazz educator and published composer/clinician Michele Fernández.
WHAT ARE THE PRIMARY ACTIVITIES OF THE SHE JAZZ PROJECT?
• Focus on performance excellence
• Development of broad guideline curriculum that commences in June.
• Weekly coaching, rehearsals: full, sectionals, ensembles on Sunday afternoons
• Formation of several small performance ensembles
• Compose/premiere new works with ensembles is one of our objectives
• A performance at Pinecrest Gardens (COVID-19 county/state guidelines permitting)
• Partnership/potential for exchange activities with Berklee Global Jazz Institute students, as well as potential for seminar/side-by-side activities with University of North Texas Jazz Studies Program
• Assistance with scholarship research/cultivation among involved institutions and future partners
• Continuation of She Jazz with multi-performances and mentoring sessions throughout the 2021-2022 school year.
