CORBIN, Ky. (July 16, 2024) – On July 21-25, Cumberland Falls State Resort Park will host Hip Hop Into Learning’s TRAP (Teaching Respect About our Planet) Camp.
At the camp, students will explore nature, write and jam with local artists, mixing genres and getting to know new people while being exposed to new art. This program provides urban students an opportunity to travel to a rural area and connect with themselves and others, learn about nature and create and record songs. Students ages 9 to 19 are eligible to participate.
The TRAP Camp is funded by a grant from Young Futures.
Hip Hop Into Learning (HHN2L) embraces the rhythm of transformation through self-expression and self-actualization and uses the powerful language of hip-hop to engage youth. HHN2L cultivates a platform where youth voices are amplified through programming, including The Real Young Prodigys program, a partnership with the award-winning Louisville Orchestra that provides students the opportunity to rap with the Louisville Orchestra through their Rap School program and the TRAP Camp.
The program also provides students with access to mental-health services free of charge, restorative justice opportunities when students have conflict or leave the program, and opportunities to travel to Ivy League colleges, along with partnerships with top-tier music engineers and mentors.
