CraftNOW Create: Summer Camp Edition!
CraftNOW collaborates with Philadelphia’s Department of Parks and Recreation (PPR) to bring hands-on craft activities to 120 recreation centers throughout Philadelphia each summer. In 2022, we delivered nearly 15,000 hours of free craft instruction and reached nearly 5,000 students between the ages of 6 and 12. We collaborate with the Philadelphia Museum of Art in providing 5,000 take-home backpacks with art supplies and free passes to the museum for each student and up to five of their family members. This program also has expanded to fill the gap between the end of school and PPR’s general summer camp program with an immersive week-long craft camp filled with activities and gallery tours provided at no cost to registrants.
We believe art education and CraftNOW Create are vital to the public health of our city and its youth. Through hands-on craft activities and field trips, students develop lasting relationships with creative institutions, discover art resources available to them year-round, and are kept safely engaged and learning in the summer months.
