The Summer Arts Camp will be conducted Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm for 5 weeks from July 10 through August 11. A minimum of two classes per hour for a total of 10 classes per day will be conducted during the first 3 weeks and rehearsals and preparation for the Extravaganza will take place the final two weeks, with the production to be held during the last week. The Extravaganza will include a dance and singing recital, a musical theater rendition of a popular book or play, an art gallery, and a video presentation. The Delhi Center Summer Arts Camp is modeled after a pilot program that was conducted in the summer of 2016. The lessons learned last summer have been used to develop a more focused program that is expected to achieve greater participation and success. A video of the summer will be produced and presented during the end -of -summer Extravaganza and a second video of the Extravaganza itself will be produced to be presented at various events in the community as well as on the Delhi Center website and other social media sites.
