PROGRAMS
SMArtSummer
Get inspired and discover your hidden passions this summer at SMArtSummer! A six-week program for students entering first through twelfth grades, it offers a more dynamic, more rewarding instructional experience than a typical summer camp. Instead of arts and crafts, kids enjoy Arts + the Sciences that fuses together creative skills, processes and academic disciplines.
Our 2018 program held a total of 76 camps with enrollment of 709 campers, awarded 133 scholarships and accepted 80 volunteers that provided 4,481 hours of service!
Hundreds of campers enjoy:
Performing on stage at Cab’s state of the art theater
Learning how to cook in our culinary arts camp
Taking care of animals in our Veterinary 101 camp
Programming video games, graphic designs, and 3D
Photography, Watercolors, Anime, Stained Glass
And so much more!
Scholarships are available for many of the camps. Please click here to apply.
Mentorship
The Cab Calloway School Fund Mentorship program was piloted program in the Fall of 2020. Our initial pilot was able to help 7 students assess for Cab Calloway School of the Arts with 5 successfully entering the lottery. The Fund continues to support the program which provides STEAM education to Title 1 students in Wilmington. It also prepares interested students for the Cab Assessment. In 2025, 8 students successfully assessed and several opted to attend for the 2025-2026 school year.
Recording Studio
The Cab Calloway School Fund successfully launched the Cab Recording Studio and it is now integrated into the Cab Calloway School of the Arts Curriculum!
Enjoy the sample musical tracks below from studio recordings!
Piano and Strings
The Cab Fund initially established and funded the Piano program and a full Strings program over 10 years ago as elective courses. With support from parents, the school, the community and the hard work of Cab Fund volunteers, both programs have blossomed into major courses of study.
Our Piano and Strings programs have grown up! They are now officially Cab Calloway School of the Arts / Red Clay School District Programs.
Congratulations and Thank You to everyone involved in making these programs a success.
See the video below to learn how students are succeeding in Piano and Strings.
