The name Rakad comes from a Hebrew word which means "to dance or leap with joy". 

​Rakad Dance Camp began in July 2009 as a one time camp for the young girls at St. Peter's Episcopal Church.

​Since then, Rakad Dance Camp has continually blossomed. We have had camps every summer, as well as several Christmas Camps and mission trips to Guatemala (where we've had Rakad International Camps).

In 2021, Rakad Dance Camp became an established 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

Rakad has always been about sharing the love of Jesus through the art of joyful movement.
