Four weeks of hands-on creativity for kids 5-12, working with professional artists on everything from improv and storytelling to painting, sculpture and puppetry.

The Arts Collinwood Summer Arts Camp is offered to only 40 children taught by two teachers, two teachers’ aides and a small group of junior counselors. We group the children by age (five to eight and nine to twelve), so we can match our teaching to their abilities and offer lots of personal attention.

Schedule

Camp will run for four weeks: July 7-July 30. Campers will meet at the Arts Collinwood Community Center on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, from 9:00 am to 12:00  p.m.

Program

Week 1: Pantomime Games and Percussion
Children learn the art of acting through fun games and theater exercises. The foundations of music are explored as children learn about rhythm and beat in a hands on, energetic atmosphere.

Week 2: Improv with Props and Puppet Making
Children learn to let go and create in the moment as they practice improv with an experienced teacher in a comfortable, playful environment. All levels of artists learn a variety of techniques to tap into the amazing world of puppetry.

Week 3: Story Making and Painting
Stories come alive this week as the children learn the magic of creating and painting new worlds.

Week 4: Drama Production and Costume Design
What does it take to put on a play? Children learn all the elements needed, including what to wear and how to make it! Watch it all come together in a final performance for friends and families!
