Confidence. Connection. Joy.

My daughter came home singing songs in Yoruba I hadn't heard since I was a child myself. She's asking me questions about home now. I didn't expect that from a summer camp.

Parent · Atlanta, GA

We're raising our kids in London, far from family in Lagos. This camp gave my son a real sense of pride in where he's from, and he made friends with kids just like him.

The teachers made every class feel like an event. My twins were glued to the screen (in a good way) and now they act out the folk tales for us at dinner.

Cohorts are intentionally small so every child gets to participate, perform and be seen. Once a group fills, enrollment closes for that session.
