Camp Empowerment
Music Therapy & Dance Camp for Kids with Diverse Abilities
Join us for four days of music therapy and dance classes designed to empower your child to meet their fullest potential!
Camp empowerment provides a supportive environment for kids of all abilities to explore music and dance as a means of expression, connection, and fun.
Skills related to team work, self-expression, creativity, communication, and more will be fostered throughout each day.
Dance will be taught by Star City School of Ballet. Music therapy will be led by board-certified music therapists from Anderson Music Therapy.
The music was wonderful, we still watch the final show and sing the song.
The theme of belonging & having the power to be themselves really came through during camp.

This was a fun creative outlet in a safe environment! My daughter enjoyed camp and is excited to go back! This is a win because often times she would rather be secluded at home!
