Charles
River Creative Arts Program
The Charles River Creative Arts Program
(CRCAP), a summer day program of the Charles
River School in Dover, Massachusetts, was
founded in 1970 to provide an environment in
which young people could pursue and develop
an interest in the arts.
Students
pick their own schedule from a wide range of
classes in the visual and performing arts as
well as sports and writing. At CRCAP, young
people can pursue current interests or
investigate new areas of endeavor. We offer
two four-week sessions for children ages 8
to 15 with approximately 275 students
attending each of the two sessions.
Visit the website (www.crcap.org) to learn
more and to view a video of this
extraordinary program.
