WorldBeat Center Summer Camp is a creative day camp built around performing arts, hands-on learning, and exploration. Monica Harris, a veteran dancer and theater producer, directs the program, which combines several areas instead of focusing on just one activity. Children take part in dance, theater, and art workshops while also exploring STEAM activities and hands-on gardening. Field trips add another layer of discovery and give campers opportunities to learn outside the regular workshop setting.
The camp is designed for children ages 5–12, making it a good fit for elementary and early middle-school students with a curiosity for creative activities. Children do not need to be focused on one particular art form. The broad program gives them opportunities to move, perform, make things, experiment, and explore nature.
A major part of the experience is its mix of performing arts and practical activities. A child who enjoys dancing can explore theater and visual arts, while someone fascinated by science can also spend time creating or working in the garden. The program is structured as a Monday-through-Friday day camp, with activities running from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The camp also has a strong connection to dance education. Its director, Monica Harris, has a background as a professional dancer, educator, and theater producer, and has directed DIVA WORKS DANCE since 1989.

This is a day camp, so overnight accommodation is not provided. Children attend during the daytime and return home after the camp program ends.
The daily schedule runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. This format allows children to enjoy a full camp experience without staying overnight. It can work particularly well for younger campers who are not ready for residential camp or for families looking for a structured daytime summer program.
WorldBeat Center Summer Camp has a strong performing-arts connection through its long-standing relationship with DIVA WORKS DANCE. The camp director, Monica Harris, has extensive experience as a dancer, educator, and theater producer and has been involved in professional dance since the age of 19.
The program also stands out for combining creative arts with STEAM learning and gardening rather than treating these subjects separately. Field trips add an element of exploration to the camp experience.
The program gives children a varied mix of movement, performing arts, creative work, science, and outdoor learning. Dance, theater, and art workshops form the creative core, while STEAM activities encourage experimentation and hands-on discovery. Gardening provides another practical way to explore nature and work with plants. Field trips round out the program with opportunities to learn and have fun beyond the regular camp setting.
The variety is especially useful for children who like trying different things rather than spending an entire week on one specialty. Activities can also give campers opportunities to discover interests they may want to pursue after camp.
