Baton
Rouge, LA – The Southern University Ag Center partnered with Bill Summers’ KLUB
Knowledge, Independence, Determination (K.I.D.) to assist with its 2016 Summer
Camp. The camp was held in Darrow, La. from July 8-10.
The
focus of the camp was to provide an opportunity for New Orleans inner city
youth to experience rural America. Activities included music and dance classes,
horseback riding, a nature hike, planting a raised bed garden, camp fire drum
circles, hip-hop recording sessions, vocal lessons and basketball tournaments.
SU
Ag Center Extension Associate Stephanie Elwood and Senior Research Associate
Mila Berhane provided technology assistance with the raised bed gardens.
KLUB
K.I.D. was established by Summers to teach high school students how to start
their own entertainment companies and learn how to protect them intellectual
property. The students are required to go through every step of starting a
record company from filing articles of incorporation with the city and state to
establish an LLC, signing a recording contract, arranging and recording their music,
creating labels and artwork to shrink-wrapping the CDs.
