Vibe of Portland and East Portland Collective have joined forces to provide art enrichment access for students ages 6-14 in Lents and nearby outer East Portland neighborhoods that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. With the theme “Dreaming Tomorrow,” the youth camp will focus on self-reflection, goal-setting, and collaboration centered on educational, social, and emotional well-being. We are offering a week, August 2 -6, 2021, of arts enrichment classes in Lents through a weekday camp, lunches, and art supplies to 15 students.

There are 15 spots available, so apply as soon as possible.
Thank you to the Oregon Community Foundation for generously supporting the Lents/East Portland kids and thank you to Rose CDC for donating their space to make it all happen!
