What our community says
Since 2021, Camp Moving Education has shaped me as a dancer, choreographer, and leader, providing a space to express myself through movement and storytelling. The culinary arts track ignited my passion for cooking, earning me certifications and experience with professional chefs to serve my community. As a 2022 CME Intern, I mentored youth, led workshops, and grew in supporting others. Nearing high school graduation, CME has instilled confidence, skills, and a belief in community, making it a true home I’ll always carry forward.
Since 2021, Community Moving Education has been my creative home, where I’ve explored West African dance, drumming, modern art, yoga, visual arts, writing, acting, and cooking. As a Youth Intern for two summers, I’ve led activities and supported younger participants, learning to move, lead, and listen to myself and others. Now in my fifth year, CME continues to build my confidence and self-expression, making it a place I’ll always return to.
Since 2021, Community Moving Education has transformed me as a dancer and person, progressing from participant to Summer Youth Intern since 2022. Before starting at LSU, I’m returning for a final internship, reflecting CME’s deep impact. I’ve choreographed works, assisted professionals, and gained confidence, leadership, and collaboration skills, empowering me to express myself through movement and connect with my community—lessons I’ll always carry with gratitude.
Since 2021, Community Moving Education has profoundly impacted my three children, fostering their confidence, creativity, and community spirit. Two have served as Summer Youth Interns for three years, gaining leadership, teamwork, and mentoring skills. As my oldest prepares for college in fall 2025, I credit CME’s vital role in their growth. More than a program, CME is a supportive family where young people thrive, and I’m deeply grateful for their experience.
