LEAF Summer Camp 2023

LEAF Global Experience is excited to once again host 8 weeks of LEAF Schools & Streets Summer Camp from June to August! This amazing camp features dance, drumming, songwriting, and so much more! These camps help to bolster youth as a whole and create cultural curiosity. So much more than just a Summer Camp!

""LEAF consistently gets better at creating a beautiful balance from wildly disparate elements. The organization's ambitions are as sprawling as the festival's musical lineup tends to be. Striking a balance between the local and the global, the cities and the natural world, the young and the grown, and the past and future, LEAF works to weave interconnectivity into a fractured era. The magic that connects communities and individuals is love. That love that inspires the horn lines from New Orleans, the dance steps from Guatemala, the stories from the Cherokee Nation, the melodies of bluegrass fiddles, and the lyrics of Bronx rappers is all the same love. LEAF is the hand holding it up to the sun. Generations of kids get to grow up at LEAF, experiencing freedom and a taste of exotic flavors that they don't even realize are rare treats. They're lucky enough to think that this is how the world is, and eventually understand that it's actually how the world should be. I always feel lucky to be a part of LEAF. It's a big part of the beating heart of Ashevil helping us grow and evolve together. The learning is never done, and I'm glad. Because this story has the best soundtra you could ever imagine."-Grammy Award Winner Cactus Agent 23 Skidoo
