Help Camille realize her Summer 2024 dance training goals

Hi, my name is Camille Dowling. I'm 14 years old, and my earliest memories are of dancing with my sisters, and begging to start ballet class at the studio my sister attended. While my training is founded in classical ballet, I've spent the last several years rehabbing an overuse injury, and trying to become the most versatile dancer that I can be! Someday I hope to become a professional dancer, and I know that summer training opportunities (and the connections made through them!) are invaluable!

I am being given the opportunity to attend several of my dream training opportunities this summer - San Francisco Ballet School's Summer Intensive (San Francisco, CA) and Arts Umbrella International Summer Dance Intensive (Vancouver, BC) are my top picks. As you can imagine, dance training is expensive! Tuition, housing and transportation are just some of the costs that need to be covered for me to take advantage of these opportunities.

2020-2024 have been especially challenging for my family, as we've navigated several health issues and employment situations. My parents firmly believe in only pursuing what we can afford, but we all believe that these opportunities are worth reaching for!

I've been blessed to receive a scholarship and financial award to assist with San Francisco; however, I'm far from my goal to afford both of these. Any contribution to help me achieve my goals would be soooo appreciated - nothing is too small!

If you would like to donate without GFM fees, please reach out to my mom for other options.

Much love,

Cam
