We keep camp small so that our offerings can reach deep!

Camp Drop-Off & Pick Up will be in Oakland (Address sent after full registration). Campers also travel to other local venues for daily field trips and activities.
FEES
$0—$2000/Session. We operate on a community mutual financial pooling system aka sliding scale. We have spots in different payment tiers, and we hope that with the support of those who have, we can make it possible to cover our costs of operations, and have a dynamic camp experience for all involved.
Fee is PER CHILD if you are registering more than one child, then select the quantity to match the # of children you plan to register.
Please choose a sliding scale rate that best suits your family’s ability to pay. We have limited space at camp, and need everyone’s contribution to make camp happen. Be considerate of keeping lower rates for folks who need it more than you do. If you need to make a contribution that is different from the established sliding scale rates use the ‘Your Rate’ option.
Camp fees cover the cost of attending camp/camp activities. Camp t-shirt, and field trips are not included.

ABOUT
Afro Urban Society is a non-profit organization of cultural creatives dedicated to boosting art, media, and the tough-but-necessary conversations relevant to the African diaspora.
Feline Finesse Dance Company, est 2014, is a youth sisterhood stemming from the origins of the Bayview-Hunters Point community, San Francisco. Our mission is to create a safe haven for all young ladies to freely, creatively, and artistically express themselves through dance while empowering them to reach their full potential, goals and dreams.
Over-articulated and barely translated, Gbedu Town Radio tells dynamic stories for the culture. Led by Artistic Director, Nkeiruka Oruche, and featuring a dynamic group of performers, GTR explores social and political themes through Pan Afro-Urban music and dance including Afrobeats, Dancehall, Coupé-Décalé & varieties of Hip hop
This workshop is presented with support by San Francisco Foundation and California Arts
