GIVE YOUR KIDS THE CHANCE TO EXPLORE THE WORLD FROM RIGHT HERE AT HOME!
Join us at the ArteLuta Capoeira Academy in Lomita, CA for a dynamic and fun-filled exploration of Brazil, one of the most diverse and spectacularly beautiful countries in South America.
Designed for youth ages 5-10 years old, “A Journey to Brazil” will immerse campers in the arts, culture, language, music and national sports of Brazil.
Each day, professional artists and practitioners will give kids a chance to create new works of arts, learn about and play Brazilian percussion instruments, enjoy interactive Portuguese language lessons, and get moving with soccer and capoeira — a Brazilian martial-arts dance form.
As a result of participating in this 5-day cultural immersion experience, kids gain artistic knowledge and skills, learn about the people, geography and environment of Brazil and create art works and performances inspired by the culture. On the last day kids showcase all they have created at a culminating performance for family and friends.
Lunch and Snacks
Kids need to bring their own lunch. Lunch is supervised. We will provide a morning and afternoon snack.
Before/After-Care
The camp is offered this summer for one-week from 8:30am until 2pm, however, we will provide before/after-care for an additional fee ($5 per ½ hour). Before/After care is supervised and unstructured. Children are encouraged to bring books, practice what they have been learning and/or continue working on their art projects.
Performance
On the last day, family and friends are invited to attend our Culminating Performance and Art Gallery where kids will perform, exhibit their art work, and share their learning.
CAMP ACTIVITIES
CM Varal
MOVEMENT (Capoeira & Soccer) with CM Varal
Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art developed originally by enslaved African in Brazil. The slaves needed to disguise their training, so capoeira incorporates elements of dance and music into the movements. Today, capoeira has evolved into a rich cultural experience that is more than just a fighting style.
Kids will also enjoy Brazil’s favorite pastime of soccer with fun warm-ups, drills, and games. Capoeira and soccer are ideal for children because it encourages playful and spontaneous self-expression while encouraging teamwork and self-confidence.
Delton Davis
PERCUSSION with Delton Davis
Kids will not only learn how to play Brazilian rhythms, but will be inspired and empowered to continue to explore their own relationship to the rhythmically diverse world that surrounds us all.
Learning about different musical styles is a fun and engaging way to build cultural and global awareness which can foster love for oneself and for others. www.kidsdrumming.org.
Monica Harmonia
VISUAL ARTS with Monica X. Delgado
Kids will work on masks, instruments and/or hanging storybook postcards to be displayed for parents at the end of the camp. The art of maskmaking is rooted in the traditions of indigenous people who live in the Amazon rainforest region. Kids will create their own masks inspired by those of indigenous people who still maintain a deep connection to nature.
