Whether your student is used to the spotlight or new to the stage, our Spring Break camps have something for everyone!Students must be fully potty-trained to participate in camps and classes. For the safety of all students, we have a closed classroom policy. Adults are not permitted to sit in on JT clamps until our invited Open Sharing on the final day of camp. A detailed informational letter will be sent out the week prior to camps. Students should bring a water bottle, closed-toe shoes, sack lunch, and two snacks.

Grades 1-3

Explore the playful world of puppetry, where characters are brought to life with creativity and flair! Learn about puppets in popular culture, from the wild animals of The Lion King to the whimsical creatures of The Muppets. Create puppets of your own and bring them to life as you experiment with voice, movement, and storytelling. Get ready to share the spotlight with your unique puppet pals!

Grades 4-6 

Discover the art of bringing stories to life through sound! In this hands-on workshop, learn the craft of foley—creating everyday sound effects to enhance a performance. Using a script as your guide, experiment with a variety of objects and techniques to design and perform sound cues that add texture, emotion, and realism to scenes. Whether it’s the rustling of leaves, the creak of a door, or the crash of a thunderstorm, foley artists transform ordinary items into extraordinary soundscapes. This workshop is perfect for anyone curious about the magic behind the scenes of theatre, film, or audio storytelling!

Ages 10+

Form a pirate crew with your fellow classmates and set sail for fortune and glory! In this performance skills/RPG-Play course, you’ll craft your character’s unique backstory, abilities, and look. Then, you’ll bring them to life through improv and storytelling challenges before actual-play sessions of a tabletop role-playing-game. (If you’re interested in ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ , it’s like that but isn’t that exactly…)(Less ‘dragons’ more ‘mermaids’)

Will you discover the Lost Treasure of the Sunken Isles, or be swallowed whole by the deadly Kraken? The only way to find out is by playing the game! 

Ye Olde Fine Print: This is a fantasy pirate adventure with all of the trappings you might imagine. Forts will be raided, treasure will be plundered and buckles will be swashed. (Or is it ‘swashes’ will be ‘buckled’?) Which is to say: violence and thievery are inherent to the genre. Storylines may also involve: spoooooooky skeletons, the existence of grog/rum, dark magic, a pantheon of gods + beliefs. We would rate the content as PG-13, in line with that of the Pirates of the Caribbean films. 

Grades 4-6

Embark on a creative journey into the unknown! Venture into outer space, dive under the sea, or imagine entirely new worlds as you combine storytelling with visual art. Develop original scenes inspired by uncharted territories, then design props, backdrops, and basic costume pieces to bring your imaginative settings to life. Discover new ways to tell stories through design and performance, sharing your adventures with friends and family during a special showcase on the final day!

Grades 7-12

Discover the art of bringing stories to life through sound! In this hands-on workshop, learn the craft of foley—creating everyday sound effects to enhance a performance. Using a script as your guide, experiment with a variety of objects and techniques to design and perform sound cues that add texture, emotion, and realism to scenes. Whether it’s the rustling of leaves, the creak of a door, or the crash of a thunderstorm, foley artists transform ordinary items into extraordinary soundscapes. This workshop is perfect for anyone curious about the magic behind the scenes of theatre, film, or audio storytelling!

This camp celebrates the larger-than-life characters who inspire us—from classic superheroes to magical kids like Percy Jackson and Matilda.
