For the Kids

NURTURING OUR FUTURE DANCERS

We take safety seriously. 

Due to COVID-19, we require all participants at camp to be fully vaccinated. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate any children or toddlers under the age limit for vaccination. Thank you for your understanding in these unprecedented times.

Your children are always welcome at camp! Kids age 4 and up will thrive in our Children's Program, which offers a full range of engaging and culturally enriching activities. Furthermore, those over age 8 may attend dance sessions if accompanied by an adult.
​
The Children's Program includes:

• A dedicated at-camp coordinator (you can learn more about last year's coordinator by scrolling down)
• Age-appropriate games, arts and crafts, and outdoor recreational activities
• Dance instruction by one or both of our featured teachers

We also welcome toddlers aged 3 and younger at camp. ​Although there is no charge for toddlers, be sure to list your toddler's name and age on the registration form. The Children's Program primarily accommodates ages 4-12, but some three-year-olds will enjoy the program's activities, and cooperative arrangements among parents for toddler care may be possible depending upon the age mix of children coming to camp.

​A great program is in store for your little ones! For more information, send an email to us (nmaugustcamp [at] gmail [dot] com, or use the form on our Contact page) and we’ll route it to the Children’s Program Coordinator.

2019 Children's Program Coordinator:

Marcella

My name is Marcella Martinez, and I am twenty-nine years old and live with my husband and two dogs. I was born in California on a military base but I was raised in Colorado, I lived in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, for three years as a missionary and then moved to Owasso, Oklahoma, for four years, and after all that moving around I have finally found my home here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have lived in Albuquerque  for almost two years and I have fallen in love with this beautiful state. I am currently a graduate from Toni & Guy hairdressing Academy and now work at Adorabella beauty academy as a cosmetology instructor. My dream is to open my own salon and have a truck with showers on it so I can give the homeless a chance to bathe and receive a haircut. I have been working with children for about five years. I was a children's pastor and have been in charge of multiple children's programs. I also babysit kids from 2 months old to 10 years old. For fun, my husband and I like to go on hikes and small adventures, and we love to try new foods. I am a little bit of a comic book nerd, I love to read fiction. I am still very much a child at heart and I think that's why I get along with kids so well.
