OUR BELIEF
We believe that when youth are given access to the explosive power of creativity, they can change their world, and even the world at large.
Our Methodology
We use the unique fusion of arts, environment and mentorship to realize our mission.
MENTORSHIP
Our creative mentors get to know the young people’s personalities and together find creative ways to explore their thoughts and the world around them.
Environment
Camp Caldera is designed for middle school and high school students and takes place from July through August at our Arts Center on the shore of Blue Lake in the middle of more than 100 acres of forest in the Cascade Mountain Range.
Art
Through our Residency Programs, Caldera Arts supports artists, creatives, and cultural workers to work on projects and to build skills and relationships that inspire growth, abolish oppression, and activate change.
