Kids Creative is an award-winning nonprofit organization that offers arts based, peace education programs for Pre-K to High School age students through after school programs, workshops and summer camps. They teach kids they rock! They believe that a better, more peaceful future is achievable by teaching youth the creative, critical thinking and social skills necessary to make peace within themselves and society. The mission of Kids Creative is to foster the 6 C’s of peacemaking in youth: Confidence, Creativity, Conflict Resolution, Community, Collaboration and Cookies through arts education programs, live music and theater events.
At summer camp, kids write their own original plays, write their own music and gain the confidence to perform their creations in front of peers and family at the end of the week.
