More About Camp
BIMA at Brandeis University is the first residential summer arts institute of its kind for high school students to advance their artistic interests and skills within a Jewish context. BIMA offers an intensive arts opportunity for young people. The program runs from July 2-30 at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, just 9 miles west of Boston. BIMA cultivates a vibrant, pluralistic environment for participants to develop artistic skills, to deepen their Jewish knowledge, and to ask questions about the intersection of their identity as Jews and young people committed to the arts.
Our program is geared towards teenagers (currently in grades 9-11) who are dedicated to the arts and interested in Jewish life.
BIMA participants will enjoy:
-advancing their skills in chamber ensemble, jazz, and choral music, painting, creative writing, and acting with professional artists.
-attending world-class cultural events in Boston and the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts.
-focusing on their artistic development, finding new ways to engage Jewish life, and discovering the points where these two passions intersect.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions. For more information about BIMA, please call (781) 736-8417, or email bima@brandeis.edu.
