The KAO Methodology enriches children’s artistic and emotional intelligence through character creation and stage production, fostering self-awareness, creative expression, and resilience. Our camps encourage meaningful connections with self and environment!

What safety measures are in place? Our camps prioritize safety with intake forms, secure entry doors, surveillance cameras, and thorough background checks. We ensure a safe, welcoming environment for every child to thrive and learn.
