The Basics
Elemental Summer Camp is a Hip Hop based forum for youth to build vital life skills. During the camp, we study street based expressive arts. In doing so, participants clarify and amplify their own unique voices, art forms, and messages, learn how to magnetize an audience to be heard, and stand up as leaders and culture crafters.
Our dynamic team of artist mentors collaborate with participants to create a dynamic expression of community solidarity in this week long cultural throw down.
