“I am taking D2GB with me everywhere I go now and I will try to face my challenges”
-Marie Vargas, Camper 15
[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2011″ img_size=”full”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Our campers are the proof that the 5th year of our D2GB Children’s Performing Arts Camp accomplished more than we imagined!We had nearly 200 campers join us for a week of art and imagination. We added new classes such as puppetry, on camera acting, cartoon voice over and an Imagination Boot Camp! We also continued to share the latino culture and heritage through classes like the Argentinian theatre style of Murga and Mexican Folkloric Dance. We want to thank all the parents and organizations that joined us in making a difference through the arts: Mercy Center, Pachamama, Cypress Hills, Arts to Grow, All Purpose Room, Urban Health Plan, and Adolph S Ochs PS/IS 111.[/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2018,2019,2020″][vc_column_text]In collaboration with the film “Step Up Revolution”, we were able to go beyond and end our camp with a flash mob on 52nd Street! It didn’t stop there. The week after the camp we brought over 60 campers to see the Theatreworks USA production of Skippyjon Jones, 50 camp participants and their parents to the pre-screening of “Step Up Revolution” and 80 volunteers, campers and parents to see Zapata! The Musical. Thank you to all the teachers who donated their time, RL volunteers, the NYC Police department, Roseland Ballroom, Peter and Ana Edwards, Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS, and everyone who made this week possible![/vc_column_text][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2021,2022,2023,2024,2025,2026″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2014,2015,2016″][vc_column_text]In 2012, we Dare to Go Beyond using the theme of IMAGINATION to teach important life skills such as:

- Dare to Go Beyond by taking risks, accepting challenges and pushing past limits that would keep me from trying my best.
- Commit to pursuing my own goals and understanding that my success is measured by challenging and competing with only myself.
- Respect those who have committed time and talent to teaching me, to the learning process and my peers by arriving early, listening and being considerate of others time and space.
- Believe that “I can” and to understand that mistakes happen and are necessary to help us learn.
- Support myself as well as others by working together with my group and learning from those around me.
