Connecting Kidz Program 2011-2012
Supported by:
Research shows that the benefit of arts experiences has a tremendous impact on the developmental growth of young people. Youth exposed to the arts are more successful in the classroom and have increased developmental life skills. The Chandler Center for the Arts provides youth with an array of programmatic opportunities for them to experience the magic of the arts through the Connecting Kidz programs.
Camp Kidz
Chandler Center for the Arts provides summertime and school break options for kids. During the summer the Chandler Young Actors Group provides Music Theatre Summer Camps and the Vision Kidz Summer Camp offers visual arts training. During school breaks programs include various one week dance and voice intensives and a Circus Arts camp with the Zoppé Italian Family Circus. Offerings are fee based and sponsorships provide opportunities for scholarships.
Theatre Kidz
Since 2007, CCA has connected to Chandler youth through professional performing arts school day performances. Chandler Center for the Arts is committed to making theatre, music, dance and other performing arts activities available to students through this program. Theatre Kidz is just one of the many creative ways Chandler Center for the Arts gives back to our community.

Vision Kidz
The VISION KIDZ Program offers two series of children's art workshops offered year round. Children 6-14 years old can register for the Vision Kidz Series, and teens 13 - 18 years old, can enroll in the Vision Kidz Unplugged series. Each series provides a child the opportunity to work with a professional artist and create artworks that are representative of their own creativity. Our program curriculum is designed to promote diversity in arts application, featuring workshops in drawing, painting, sculpture, mixed media, watercolor, textile arts & clay.
