Camp LEAD: Art as Resistance

Camp LEAD is a transformative summer day camp for rising 6th–8th graders designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and develop young leaders committed to social justice and community change. Through hands-on workshops, creative projects, field trips, and immersive learning experiences, campers explore leadership, identity, and equity in engaging, age-appropriate ways.

This summer, Camp LEAD offers four one-week sessions (Monday–Friday), each centered on a unique theme, and students may attend one or multiple sessions. Tuition is $350 per week and includes all field trips, transportation, and supplies. LEAD STL understands that every family’s financial situation is unique, and we encourage families to share any circumstances that may affect their ability to contribute; our staff will work with families to ensure all students can participate fully, and no student will be denied access to programming because of financial need.
