AileyCampers take classes in dance, music, and art, discovering new creative tools and learning affirmations that allow them to flourish in any situation. The campers also participate in workshops to build leadership and communication skills while enjoying a variety of athletic and social activities.

TOGETHER WE RAISED $1750usd FOR AILEYCAMP!
THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME!
Close your eyes for a moment and allow yourself to be transported back to your summer camp experience.
Remember the anticipation and excitement as you waited for weeks for camp to begin.
The eagerness you felt as you packed your bags, checking and re-checking your "To Bring" list.
How you allowed your imagination to create experiences you hoped to have - the fun, laughter, challenges, games, new friends, and old friends you only saw once a year at camp.
Maybe you wondered who your camp counsellor would be - or what kind of new activites you would get to learn.
Perhaps you even wondered how many new friends you'd get to make.
Whether it was the first time, or 5th time going to camp, the joy and excitement at what was to come was always the same.
New possibilities. Fun and challenging games. A break from the monotony of summer away from your school friends.
Summer camp is a place to experience freedom, compassion, connectedness, and safety.
It's a place to re-invent yourself and connect with your authentic self.
The need for summer camps still lives on.
This fundraiser exists because 3 courageous, committed women have joined hands and hearts to make a difference in the lives of youth who are in need of a safe space - that place to grow, learn, stretch, and blossom...
...To be held, encouraged, and challenged to become the strong, powerful, confident leaders that we need in our future generations of youth.
AileyCamp has been creatively inspiring children for over 30 years, and in our hearts we felt this was the perfect gift of hope and love to pass on to those kids in need.
Your generous heart will help youth from across the USA (and perhaps the globe) to have the chance to enrich their lives through the power of dance, music, and art.
With your help, these beautiful young souls will have the opportunity to build leadership and communication skills, while tapping into the freedom and joy that only the arts can inspire.
Your donation helps supply a uniform, transportation, meals, housing, security, and a lifetime of memories for these children during their 6 weeks of summer camp.
Our fundraiser goal is $500 USD. With your generous donations, we firmly believe we can triple this number and truly make a difference for the next generation of campers!
AileyCamp runs for 6 weeks in multiple locations across the USA, and at the end of the season the campers all have the opportunity to perform in a closing Recital. The staff of AileyCamp is always impressed that even though many of the youth have no experience in dance and music, each one of them shows up 100% in their heart and soul to perform with radiance and confidence.
"Dance is for everybody. I believe that dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people." - Alvin Ailey
Thank you for being part of something meaningful. Your generosity creates real change.

From our hearts to yours, thank you for being awesome.
