Trilok’s Summer Program takes place during the month of July and August each year. This year the sessions are on the following dates.

Session 2: July 31st-August 25th, 2023
$1300/Two Weeks | $2400 Four Weeks | $3200 / Six Weeks | $4200 / Eight Weeks
It is open to children ages two through fifteen.
Every year a central story or theme is selected, often from a folk or mythological tale, highlighting cultural themes from a unique part of the world. The children learn dance, music, photography, yoga, cooking, art, theater, technology and set-building in the process of creating a dance-drama interpreting the chosen theme.
The session culminates with a children’s performance, which is open to the parents and the public.
Below are some of the activities that take part in the camp.
Mindful Motion
Every morning after free play, campers engage in fun, focused movement
practices, such as yoga and tai-chi, which offer a great way to tune in and
prepare for a full day of activity ahead.
Edible Earth (Planting & Cooking).Planting, pruning and harvesting, campers grow their green thumb! Students
learn where food comes from, how to prepare delicious homegrown snacks and how
to care for plants in Trilok’s 5000sq ft garden.
Awesome Art & Wondrous Weaving
Using recycled items and natural products, kids learn how to transform
materials to enliven a story through visual art. Projects
include costume making, natural dye workshop, mask making and prop/set
building.
Diverse Dance or Thoughtful Theater
African, Indian, Hip Hop and Modern dance techniques offer a wide
palate for individual expression. Building self-confidence, campers enjoy their
bodies as malleable sculpture.
Thoughtful Theater
Character development and imagination games lead campers to invent new
worlds and powers. Through both scripted and improvisational techniques,
campers develop teamwork and foster positive social interaction through
creativity.
Mosaic Music
Campers explore various aspects of song, rhythmic drumming, and musical
construction. Through music making, moods are soothed and body-mind
coordination is deepened.
Tantalizing Technology
Using story-board techniques and character development strategies,
campers work collaboratively to compose short animations. Digital image as set
or back-drop for theater bring new levels of choice and professionalism to the
camp’s final performance.
Sweaty Sports
Sports are offered daily as a way to have fun, build stamina, develop
ball skills, exert excess energy, and build team-work.
