ArtRageous Summer Camp

In summer 2020 we went virtual to continue offering a positive and creative experience in each camper’s day to stay connected and learn remotely. Campers enjoyed four weeks of classes including; Arts and Crafts, Musical Theatre, and Hip Hop Dance. We look forward to summer 2021. An announcement about whether camp will be in person or virtual in 2021 will be made in March 2021. If you have any questions, please email ArtRageous Director, Qadriyyah Tongori at artrageous@brtstage.org.

Admission Information

New camper admission is dependent on how many spots per age group are available. New campers are considered on a first come, first served registration basis. Registration information will be available on this website in the spring of 2021. Prior year campers are automatically re-enrolled for next summer. ArtRageous administration will be in contact as we move closer to the next camp season. If you have any questions, please email ArtRageous Director, Qadriyyah Tongori at artrageous@brtstage.org.
