CAMP hosts art, music workshops this week in LLRIB communities
The Community Arts Mentorship Program (CAMP) is offering workshops in six Lac La Ronge Indian Band communities this week.
Sponsored by the Lac La Ronge Indian Child and Family Services (ICFS), the first workshop occurred Sunday in Stanley Mission. The workshop is geared towards families and the Stanley Mission event attracted 50 attendees.
“We are trying to give everybody all the arts programs CAMP has to offer, so we have Holly Yuzicapi, who is doing visual arts, Eliza Doyle is doing instrument and music, Zoe Slusar – ZHE the Free is her artist name – is doing hip hop programming and also getting the kids moving, grooving and dancing. And then myself, I am doing drama with the kids and just kind of playing community-building games with them through those exercises as well,” CAMP executive director LJ Kimbley said.
“We’re trying to identity what more we can do to better service these communities. Do they prefer the hip hop programming? do they prefer learning guitar, ukelele, band and drums and things like that? Or are they more geared towards visual arts? That’s what we are trying to do. They could love it all and then we will know how to better serve our remote and underserved communities.”
