Arts Activities Support
ACHF Arts Access
The three goals of Camp Capri are: 1) to provide 24 urban youth with a broad experience of the performing and visual arts, 2) to demonstrate the skills necessary to be good artists and performers, and 3) to design opportunities for youth to acquire new life skills. We expect that 90% of our youth served will report gaining a lot or some proficiency in the arts.Plymouth Christian Youth Center uses the Youth Program Quality Assessment for evaluating Camp Capri, and includes student and family surveys to assess student goals for the session and our performance in meeting expectations. Artistic faculty also participate in program evaluation, used to continuously improve the program each new year.
The majority of the youth said they learned a lot (75%) and identified these key benefits: taking Field trips and doing/seeing things I have not done before; learning about African Culture; learning to drum and dance and act; and being able to express myself. Families also reported positive changes at home, as did one youth's therapist.
