Still looking for things for your children to do this summer? The Warehouse Living Arts Center (WLAC), located at 119 W. 6th Avenue, Corsicana, TX, is known for its great youth theatre summer camps. This summer the WLAC is upping their offerings with their 2022 Summer of the Arts Youth Camps! Full details are available on their website www.theWLAC.com.
“We are excited to be offering Art, Theatre, Dance, and Music Camps all throughout the month of July!” says executive director John Kaiser III. “My personal experiences aside, studies have shown that involvement in theatre and the arts benefit children across a range of developmental areas. Theatre can improve social bonding, as well as develop their emotional and cognitive skills. It has also shown significantly higher scores in verbal and math SAT scores for students that have been involved over those who have not.”
While Art Camp is full already, there are still slots available in all the other camps.
