Back once again, Miami-Dade County Parks will offer its popular, award-winning GEM (Girls Empowerment and Mentoring) Summer Arts Camp at the Roxcy O’Neal Bolton Women’s History Gallery at The Women’s Park.
The camp will provide girls ages 6-14 with opportunities to find their creative voice, make new friends and learn leadership skills, while they enjoy safe, quality arts experiences in the beautiful natural surroundings of the park, located at 10251 W. Flagler St. Registration is underway.
Now in its twelfth season, GEM camp will take place from June 22 to July 30. The camp will be open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Early drop-off and sign-in will be between 8 and 9 a.m., and late pickup and sign-out from 4 to 5 p.m.
This innovative and inclusive camp features a nourishing, multicultural group setting and an array of workshops in visual, performance and language arts that include dance, musical theater, chorus, painting, arts and crafts, journalism, women’s studies, environmental science and leadership development, all directed by professional artists and educators. The program culminates with a “Summer Arts Showcase” performance and “The Festival of the Arts” art exhibition by GEM girls at the park’s gallery.
Registration slots are limited. The cost to register is $15. The weekly camp fee is $100. Lunch and one snack will be included. A limited number of scholarships are offered to those with school-documented medical disabilities or those with a demonstrated economic hardship.
GEM Summer Arts Camp is sponsored by Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces with the support of the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs Council, the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board of County Commissioners, and funded by The Children’s Trust.
All COVID-19 Safety Guidelines will be observed, including mask wearing, social distancing and daily health screenings.
