From 10:00 a.m.– 2:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, participants will be tutored in the areas of dance, music and drama.
An opportunity for young people ages 8 to 17 to become involved in positive self-development through engagement in the arts and culture will be made available to students for the period July 20 to August 18 from 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
