PURPOSE OF THE SUMMER CAMP

The program aims to introduce students to cultural diversity through performing and visual arts, which includes African dance, African drumming, and crafts.  We believe exposure to different cultures and cultural enrichment fosters a greater understanding and appreciation of other members in the community and help enable diversity awareness, which allows our youth to become more responsible and respectful citizens. 

Cheza Nami Foundation provides an artistic platform through global education of African art and culture to educate and enlighten the lives of the students attending the camp.
