NATURE ARTS SUMMER DAY CAMP- July 7-11 @ Sandhill Nursery
Get creative in the great outdoors. Led by local teacher Alberta Robinet, kids aged 7-12 will use organic and foraged materials to make whimsical works of visual art while learning about ecology and the environment. New this year: campers will spend the day at Sandhill Nursery and enjoy a full day outdoors!
CIRCUS SPECTACULAR SUMMER DRAMA CAMP- July 28- August 1 @ Algonquin Theatre
Step right up and join us as we dive into the enchanting world of a traveling circus!
Can we create our very own “Greatest Show on Earth” at the Algonquin Theatre? Absolutely! Throughout the week, kids aged 7-12 will enjoy theatre games, costume creation, and prop building, all leading up to an original performance at the end of the week.
HFA MUSIC & DANCE CAMP- August 11-15 @ HFA Studio
Back again after an incredible first run in 2024! Led by local musician and dance leader, Hannah Naiman, this unique camp experience draws on traditional music and dance experiences for kids aged 7-12. In the morning, kids will have the opportunity to learn to play the ukulele and accompany themselves on simple folk songs. We’ll break up the day with singing games, traditional English sword dancing, and this year we’ll draw and paint a giant crankie machine! Parents will be invited to attend a showcase performance at the end of the week on stage at the Algonquin Theatre.
