Youngsters had the chance to dust off their Halloween costumes and ready their candy bags for a special encore of the October occasion, sporting a wide array of outfits and disguises.
Also this summer, through a partnership with DanceSpora Inc., groups of campers had a once-aweek meeting to learn about the history of hip hop and the positive elements of the popular form of dance. Each group then performed for parents and guests a routine they spent part of the summer preparing. More than 150 kids aged 5-12 had the chance to participate.
The program was offered through the Broad Street program’s Recreational-Educational Camp, which this year received a $25,000 grant from the New Jersey Office of Faith Based Initiatives. The CYO is supported by a number of public and private funders.
