Project Title: MCM Explorers Summer Camp scholarships
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
MCM requests $10,000 to enroll 12 youth from Miami\u2019s most underserved neighborhoods in 4 weeks of MCM Explorers educational summer camp programming. Hermanowski Family Foundation funding will provide full scholarships to cover expenses, which include daily lunch as well as before and after care. <\/p>\n
MCM Explorers arts-based camp activities take children to a different global destination or culture each week, i.e. Vietnam and Native American heritage, to gain an appreciation for our cultural differences and similarities through hands-on activities including art, music, dance, theater and special events with global ambassadors. Campers engage in activities that balance self-directed exploration with guided learning and group projects aimed at emphasizing qualities such as creativity, self-expression, curiosity, self-esteem, positive messages, teamwork, leadership, conflict resolution and positive socialization. Children also learn about nutrition and cooking by eating and preparing foods from around the world. The camp emphasizes physical fitness and collaboration through dance, sports and games. Campers further expand their knowledge of different cultures through field trips to local cultural institutions.<\/p>\n
A substantial benefit of summer camp programming is the prevention of \u201csummer slide,\u201d a loss of academic skills that occurs over the summer break. Studies show that children who do not have academically stimulating summer environments can have lower reading and math skills when they return to school in the fall. MCM camps enable children to practice academic skills as well as acquire new knowledge so that they don\u2019t lose ground over the summer. Children also are immersed in the arts, another variable that correlates positively with academic and social development. Last year, our Museum summer camp program served 314 children from June – August, including 36 scholarship recipients, 5 with disabilities. The average number of campers per week was 79 youth. <\/p>\n
