CAMPS

SUMMER- ENROLL NOW!

Our Summer Camp is rooted in street and club dance culture. Each week, campers rotate through breaking, hip hop, and house, alongside visual arts experiences inspired by graffiti and movement.

Campers are grouped by age for developmentally aligned programming:

Ages 5–7: Play-Based Immersion

Our younger dancers build foundations through rhythm stations, mini cyphers, movement games, and obstacle courses. Dance labs introduce breaking, hip hop, and house through playful technique and guided exploration. Creative blocks include graffiti art, name design, and street-art inspired projects. Outdoor time features playground visits, sprinklers, and neighborhood mini-walks. Afternoons include choice-based exploration in dance, art, or building activities, ending each day in a closing circle.

Ages 8–14: Cultural Lab + Skill Development

Older campers deepen technique through focused training blocks in breaking, house, and hip hop. They rotate through choreography lab, freestyle development, groove drills, and conditioning. Cultural sessions explore the roots of street and club dance, while art + design labs investigate letter structure, tag evolution, and creative expression. Neighborhood immersions and guest workshops expand their understanding of movement within community. The day culminates in crew rehearsal, mentorship, and battle strategy.

Movement happens all day — in the studio, outdoors, and through creative practice. Even visual arts components are grounded in rhythm, spatial awareness, and embodied expression.

We maintain an intentionally small camp model with three pods of six campers. Each pod is supported by a dedicated counselor and teen assistant, allowing for close supervision, strong relationships, and a deeply supportive environment.

Regular outdoor excursions include nearby playgrounds and splash pads, with sprinklers and water play for younger campers.

Enrollment Minimum
Each camp week requires a minimum of eight enrolled campers to run. Families will be notified no later than three weeks prior to the start date if a week does not meet minimum enrollment. In that event, families may transfer to another available week or receive a full refund.

Cancellation, Withdrawal, and Credit Policy

Because camp runs in small groups and staffing is scheduled in advance, all camp registrations are non-refundable.

If you need to cancel a registered week of camp:

• 30 or more days before the camp week begins: a credit equal to 100% of tuition paid will be issued.

• 14–29 days before the camp week begins: a credit equal to 50% of tuition paid will be issued.

• Less than 14 days before the camp week begins: no credit will be issued.

Credits have no cash value, are non-transferable, and may be applied toward future Rikud programs within 12 months of issuance.

For full-summer registrations, the same cancellation schedule applies prior to the first day of camp. If a participant withdraws after camp has begun, weeks attended will be charged at the standard weekly rate, and any remaining balance will be issued as credit.

Rikud reserves the right to modify schedules, combine age groups, or cancel a camp week if minimum enrollment requirements are not met or due to circumstances beyond its control. If Rikud cancels a program or camp week, families may choose between a full credit or a full refund.

By completing registration and submitting payment, the parent or legal guardian acknowledges and agrees to this cancellation policy and authorizes the payment method provided to be charged for all applicable tuition and fees.
