About
AMA Summer Camps offers mini camps and a full-day Sports & Arts Camp that include music, dance, tumbling, acting, set-design, arts & crafts, games, group games, outdoor play, and sports. Campers also take part in crafts and different weekly themes for games and activities, and Friday camps include a pizza party lunch in the camp price. Campers in AMA Summer Camps are partnered with the in-house charity Loving Lunches to assemble nutritious sack lunches for Chicagoland’s homeless community.

AMA is a More Than Just Great Dancing studio and states that it is committed to more than excellent dance, tumbling, and music instruction, with students going beyond technique by developing life skills and learning to be respectful, confident, and conscientious young people who share their gifts and talents throughout the community. AMA Instructors attend continued training to further their education, and the studio owner is Miss Ann Marie, who is also a parent. AMA has created an in-house 501(3)(c) charity, Loving Lunches, where between 300–500 sack lunches are made every week, mostly by children, to feed Chicagoland’s homeless community.
