About Camp Destiny
Camp Destiny is a program of Destiny Arts Center, a community arts center that has provided high-quality, movement arts programs to youth ages 3-18 since 1988. Youth at Camp Destiny engage in Destiny’s core practices of dance, martial arts, and mindfulness, as well as, visual arts and outdoor play. Campers build community through Destiny Arts Center’s principles of love, care, respect, responsibility, honor, and peace.
Destiny Arts Center is a social justice organization. We ask that families contribute what they can. If you can afford to contribute more than the suggested price, please know that your funds go to directly support other families in our program.
PLEASE NOTE: We prioritize Oakland’s Black and Brown residents.
