Celebrating 35 Years of AileyCamp

This year, AileyCamp celebrates its 35th anniversary. Our founder, Alvin Ailey, started AileyCamp as a summer day camp for children aged 11-14 in 1989; it was the last initiative he spearheaded for the organization before he passed away. It has since expanded into 10 cities, offering free dance training, creative writing instruction, personal development, and communication workshops to hundreds of children across the country.
