After a successful summer youth program that ran 4 days per week (including a week of circus camp!), CAMP is currently on hiatus for youth programming due to a lack of volunteers. We would love to get youth programming back on track, and we know the kids would too! Our target age range is 7-13, and anything you could share with the kids would be welcome: drawing, painting, sculpting, rhyming, singing, pantomiming, etching, vibrating, twirling, juggling, hovering, and so forth.

CAMP Silkscreens!

CAMP has some kick-ass silkscreens, designed by our super-awesome 2008 summer intern Katie Ford, and they're for sale!

Adult sizes are $4, children's sizes $2 when you come by to pick them up. Likewise, you can drop us a line (ben@stlcamp.org or 314-776-1721) to inquire when our next printing is, so you can screen your own duds!

Here you can see for pix of the silkscreens in action!

CAMP Has An Office to Rent!

Hi folks - thanks so much to the Facebookers out there for for adding CAMP to your pages. Some of you may remember that we sent out a letter a few months ago asking for CAMP sustainers - to date the response has been pretty minimal, so we're breaking out the begging bowl again.

We spent the summer hanging out in the heat with neighborhood youth - having open hours four days a week for everything from a mural project, to instrument making, to bike building. (Summer flat tires fixed count is now over 50 ;) )

Friends, neighbors, and loved ones:

Some of you may know that I am intimately involved in a radical
grassroots community center and arts/media space in South St. Louis.
Specifically in Gravois Park, one of the more violent and impoverished
areas in a violent and impoverished city. We have a large learning
space with free computers connected to the internet, a library, a
bamboo-floored event room with audiovisual capabilities, a large
community garden, as well as offices for local non-profits and
residential living for social justice workers who seek to live both in
