Find Your Child a Summer Camp Assistance Grant

Winner "Best Summer Camp" in LA Parent Magazine

Performing Arts Workshops has been providing arts-based classes, summer camps and after school programs for over 30 years, and is responding to the alarming number of families facing financial and medical hardships by introducing their Summer Camp Grant program.

This support grant will allow up to 1,000 families directly impacted by the pandemic to enroll their children in a full week of Live Online Summer Camp with a sense of relief knowing that half of the entire tuition will be sponsored by PAW. “We wish to do our part as a trusted member of the community and offer support in this time of need,” says Cheryl Appleman, President of Performing Arts Workshops. “Kids don’t need to have past experience to enjoy our curriculum and participate, it’s designed to engage both beginners and seasoned thespians alike.”

As winner of BEST CAMP in LA Parent Magazine, PAW allows kids to build their own daily activities from choices of Acting, Singing & Voice Training, Dance, Guitar, Stand-Up Comedy, Magic, Cheerleading, Theatrical Make-up, and Debate! The curriculum is designed so every week is a new experience because their acting, singing, and dance teachers draw inspiration from weekly themes, which include: MARY POPPINS, ANNIE, LITTLE MERMAID, WICKED, LITTLE SHOP, TANGLED, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, GREATEST SHOWMAN AND HAMILTON.

“Right now when it is even more important than ever, to ensure kids stay happy, safe and connected, we are including social circles, dress up theme days, and end of day hurrays to our full day of activities and curriculum,” Ms. Appleman goes on to say, “because the COVID-19 crisis has impacted families in so many ways from financial instability and children feeling isolated, to food insecurity and beyond, we’re thrilled to be able to make these grants available.”
