The Kate receives grant for camp programs

OLD SAYBROOK » The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, Inc. (the Kate) recently received a grant award from The Westbrook Foundation, allowing the Kate to continue to develop unique and diverse programming in its Kate’s Camp for Kids, a joint effort with the Community Music School.

The camp is a unique comprehensive summer arts day program that began in summer 2013, and is geared towards families in the shoreline region who seek to nurture their children’s creative potential through the arts.

This state-licensed camp brings together professional teaching artists from Community Music School and throughout the region to the Kate.

The funding from The Westbrook Foundation supports teaching artists’ fees, supplies, operating expenses, securing additional personnel, marketing and implementation of the camp, scholarships for qualifying applicants ensuring a broad cross-section of youth are served, and upkeep of the space where the Camps function and the technology used to put on the camps including costs of ongoing repairs and upgrades.

Community Music School offers innovative music programming for infants through adults, building on a 34-year tradition of providing quality music instruction to residents of shoreline communities.
