About
LAMPLIGHT ARTISTS, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, created its first arts camp in the summer of 2002 in Columbia, Maryland, located in the Baltimore/Washington corridor. A strong desire to help kids explore and learn biblical truth in a kid oriented environment prompted the creation of a high energy, Bible-centered performing arts day camp for children. From its inception All About Kids Productions (AAKP) has been envisioned and designed as a partnership event with the local church. It provides another creative option for local churches to reach their community for Christ.
In 2003 the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware (BCM/D) added the All About Kids Productions camps to their summer camps program. It was the beginning of a fruitful partnership that continues to have Kingdom impact today.
In 2006 All About Kids Productions had the opportunity to produce a training video and lead the KIDZFEST Choir at the Franklin Graham Festival held at Camden Yards, Baltimore, MD.
AAKP has expanded and developed, and is now being produced in three states. An internship program has been established for college students and professionals. Interns have the opportunity to work with hundreds of children during the summer as they learn to communicate God’s truth through the arts.
In addition to AAKP, LAMPLIGHT ARTISTS partnered with the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware in 2003 to produce YPAC, The Performing and Visual Arts Camp for Students (grades 7-12). Camps were held from 2003-08 and attracted students from across Maryland and Delaware. In the Fall of 2008 LAMPLIGHT ARTISTS was invited to create and direct One Voice, a student conference choir at ALIVE, a Metro-Maryland YOUTH FOR CHRIST middle-school conference held in Ocean City, MD.
In its first eight years LAMPLIGHT ARTISTS has been privileged to work with over 4,000 students, volunteers and professional staff.
