Berkeley/Oakland AileyCamper from 2006 is back volunteering this summer with the 2009 camp. Now in high school, she reminisces about her time as an AileyCamper three years ago. Berkeley/Oakland AileyCamp at Cal Performances is tuition free and admits middle-school students ages 1114 from the East Bay. The nationally acclaimed youth program, conceived by Alvin Ailey, founder of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and locally produced by Cal Performances, combines ballet, jazz, modern and African dance instruction with personal development and creative communication classes and field trips; the aim of the camp is to teach self-discipline and critical thinking skills through the arts. The camp is located on the UC Berkeley campus.
