A Message from the 2022 Camp Directors, Vinny & Beth Mwano

Some of you might remember us from the 2021 Carpe Diem sleep-away camps on the Shore. We were house parents (The Cove) and teaching artists (Beth taught yoga, singing, creative dance. Vinny taught hip hop and photography). We also helped organize and keep camp running smoothly.  

We are creative beings who use dance, film, music, photography and more to explore ideas that are challenging and inspiring us. We have both been dance teachers for a while and have partnered with several non-profits as artistic collaborators, including Dance Exchange in Takoma Park, BodyWise Dance, and now, Carpe Diem Arts. Beth currently is a private dance teacher, yoga teacher and spiritual guide. She is also attending Maryland University of Integrative Health to get her M.S. in Yoga Therapy. Vinny is working as a Filmmaker, Editor, Business Creative Marketing Consultant, Teacher (photography) and is a guest teacher at Dance Exchange.  

We have also both taught at summer camps in the past, and fun fact--at one camp Beth was the photographer and music leader! Now Beth leaves most of the photography to Vinny. We loved getting to know the campers last year and watch them all interact with Ocean. A highlight for Beth was watching the campers develop their own choreographies based on inspiring prompts about nature. A highlight for Vinny was seeing the campers use their cameras to tell their own stories through photography.  

We can't wait to play, make art, be in awe of nature, bike, boat, make new friendships and go deeper with old ones, ask challenging questions and think creatively about their possible solutions, have good food, be nurtured by amazing artists and have a blast! 

If you have any questions, please reach out to us at camps@carpediemarts.org.
