COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Madison Maurice is just one of the many students taking advantage of camp Blend Out at the Woodfield Enrichment Center in Columbia.
“I have learned the word of the day and I have learned how to ballet,” says Madison Maurice, camp participant.
This non profit camp focuses on three foundational issues low self esteem, peer pressure and abstinence. Gospel recording artist Regina Skeeters is the founder.
“Deals with people who feel like they have to fit in. People who feel like they have to be someone else to be accepted,” says Regina Skeeters, Founder Camp Blend Out.
Skeeters says unlike other camps here at Blend Out students learn about the arts, which as piano lessons, rhythm and movement, dance, step team and singing.
Skeeters says the arts help students to become creative and with some schools cutting programs out due to budget cuts it’s important that there’s an alternative.
“We are grateful for mathematics but when the arts are added it just helps them as it relates to comprehension,” says Skeeters.
