4. Diversity

Just as diversity is demonstrated in the picture above, so does the Kaleidoscope Arts Camp try to promote diversity. Part of the camp's mission is "to use performing and visual arts to cultivate creativity and to celebrate diversity and acceptance." While the camp is run out of a Church building, there is no religious affiliation and there are campers of all different religions and races.

Every year the camp chooses a theme, and often times that theme is based on the idea of accepting people of different backgrounds. For example two years ago the theme was peace, and the theme for the upcoming year is "ART-a-TUDE": Using the Arts to Motivate the Good Impulses of People. The camp makes a distinct effort to encourage the campers to be forward thinking and envision a more united world, like the one in the picture.
