Creative Arts at Keene (C.A.K.E.) Summer Camp award-winning, multi-arts summer day camps provide children and teens with the skills they need to build confidence while making friends and exploring their creativity. For over 20 years, MoCo has taken summer fun to the next level with its popular Creative Arts at Keene a.k.a. C.A.K.E. camp.

Named an outstanding summer arts program by the National Endowment for The Arts, C.A.K.E. draws students from the Monadnock Region and beyond – families are planning vacations that include C.A.K.E. (and CupCAKE!) as part of their special experience visiting the area.

One of the many things that make this camp unique is that it empowers campers to create their own experience. C.A.K.E. provides kids and teens with a unique opportunity to delve into the arts in highly personalized ways. Campers choose classes in performing or visual arts, and select from a wide range of offerings, creating their own unique full or half-day morning or afternoon schedule. From creative writing and film to chainmail jewelry design and cooking classes to creative tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons, MoCo Arts goes beyond the average camp experience, creating opportunities for students to build skills and friendships they will take with them throughout their lives.

In addition to self-directed schedules tailored to campers’ interests, C.A.K.E. students get to showcase projects they have been working on in MoCo’s black box theatre. Whether it be a new dance, a podcast they produced, a song they recently learned, a painting they would love to show, or a piece of writing they want to read, students demonstrate whatever they choose during The C.A.K.E. Mix on Wednesdays and Fridays.

The fourth week of C.A.K.E. is Festival, an exciting time for campers filled with musicals, art exhibits, one-act plays, dance performances, and more, this is a week-long celebration of everything the campers created throughout the summer. Classes will have opportunities in performances or galas to show off their hard work and fun they’ve created throughout camp.
