Mask-making and puppetry provide creative focal points and wonderful surprises. Unlike traditional school settings, the JFKU Expressive Arts Camp encourages children to create from the inside out. By tapping into their dreams and imagination, they begin to give form to their feelings and experiences. This multi-modal approach engages children's curiosity and fosters a sense of self.

"Expressive Arts camp helped my daughter love who she is and worry less about what other people think" - Parent of a 12-year-old girl. "Camp helped my son learn to focus. He came into camp having a hard time making friends and relating to others. He has had many negative experiences in the past. This is the first time he's wanted to come back to a camp." - Mother of a child with Aspergers Syndrome.
