he main goal of the Riverside Foundation for the Performing Arts 2018 Summer Camp is to provide free musical theater training to low-income and at-risk children. The training they receive is a strong vehicle that enables the participants to increase their individual self-esteem, to focus on their abilities and to develop an interest in the cultural arts.
The children participate in music (voice), choreography and acting training sessions. During the two-week camp, participants also rehearse for the end of camp Showcase, which is a live public performance held on the last day.
The camp’s sponsors included The Community Foundation of the Rappahannock’s Duff McDuff Green Jr. Fund, Union Bank & Trust, Stafford County, Stafford Rotary, Rappahannock Rotary, Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative, Spencer Devon Brewing and the Virginia Commission for the Arts.
