Beyond The Natural Foundation (BTNF) summer camp provides high-dosage enrichment programming where youth get to learn positive ways to express themselves through music and visual art, collaborate on projects creating community, enhance their critical thinking and writing skills, and decrease summer learning loss. Youth grow musically by learning Songwriting, Beat Making, Music Production, Piano, Drumming and Vocal Performance while exploring the fundamental aspects of rhythm and harmony. Through our collaboration with Art With A Heart, campers will engage in a variety of mixed media art projects that range from painting and drawing, to sculpture, ceramics and printmaking. Campers get to develop academically through progress-driven academic instruction for the upcoming school grade in Mathematics and English Language Arts. As a bonus, campers engage in environmental education in our collaboration with Temple X School’s Baltimore Forest School project by taking nature walks in Stillmeadow Peace Park on the campus of Stillmeadow Community Fellowship, engaging in observational drawings and bug hunts, and utilizing technology to collect field data. We use YMCA’s mobile program “Y on the Fly” to bring exercise, healthy cooking and nutrition out to summer camp allowing our youth to become active outdoors doing fun exercise and fitness activities while learning about health and nutrition. The Summer Food Service Program will provide free, nutritious breakfasts and lunches to campers. There will be weekly field trips as well.
