Campers will journey to places that only the arts can take them using theater, music, visual arts, and dance. Each day campers will immerse themselves in visual art, music, theater, and dance centered and interpreted through a theme. Young artists create art projects, learn new songs, dances, and will act in different skits. Culminating each week, campers will have the opportunity to showcase their work on BlackRock’s outdoor stage. With a different theme each week, BlackRock’s Arts Journeys are guaranteed to be fun, entertaining, and educational. There are no limits to imagination and fun!

SONIE MATHEW
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
On February 9, 2021 BlackRock lost a legacy and friend, Teaching Artist Sonie Mathew. Sonie touched the lives of over a thousand young people in his decade of service to BlackRock education programs who like him, share a passion for theater and music. Mr. Sonie understood the benefits of a performing arts education, lessons that could be applied for life.
This scholarship opportunity serves 75% of tuition fees for the Summer Youth Art Academy and the Counselor in Training Program. This scholarship is not applicable for the Sports Meets the Arts camp run in partnership with Maryland SoccerPlex.
