KidsACT is an acronym for Kids Are Creative Thinkers and we are a dynamic summer camp for young aspiring artists where they are free to creative expression. Founded on March 14, 2019 by Tonya Mayo, KidsACT provides the opportunity to challenge children from 4-12 to be creative, explore and take risks by exposing, empowering and encouraging them through performing arts, visual arts and creative writing!
Growing up, our founder and CEO Tonya participated in summer camps and was involved in multiple activities such as volleyball, soccer, dance, track and musical theatre. Tonya always wanted to learn more about the arts but never had enough time or a central location to learn different outlets at the same time. Through KidsACTs mission, Tonya hopes her Small Creative Artist learn more about themselves while discovering new artistic outlets in one place.
KidsACT strives to collaborate with artists around the community and give our children open space to find their creative outlet. It is our priority and duty to not only create a safe, open space but a brave space for our children who have the right to be heard! How can we navigate our emotions of sadness, happiness, anger and uncertainty for a positive outcome? Please remember you have a voice and it deserves to be heard. You have the power to make a positive change!
Registration is open and we are ready for you to join us!
