For Girls and Boys Entering Grades 6-9 (Afternoon Specialty)
Session 1: July 1 - 12
Session 2: July 15 - 26
Session 3: July 29 - August 9
This specialty is for campers who wish to be immersed in musical theater or those who are eager to experience the joy of dancing, singing and acting onstage. All campers receive valuable theater experience.
Morning Workshop (Grades 2-5)
Young campers begin with dance/movement warm-ups, followed by fun vocalizations. Campers work on “audition” songs to practice and learn skills, including proper breathing, phrasing, and how to use a microphone. Campers are highlighted in solo and/or group musical numbers. Positive feedback instills self-confidence in this fun, welcoming environment. Children who have never been onstage will feel just as comfortable as those who are experienced thespians. There is an end-of-session performance that is open to parents, relatives and friends.
Afternoon Workshop (Grades 6-9)
Campers must enroll for the last four weeks (Sessions 2 and 3) or the full six weeks (Sessions 1, 2 and 3) because of rehearsal requirements that culminate in a special evening performance on Thursday, August 8, 2013. This is a place for children to learn, grow, hone their skills and, above all, perform! The final performance features an eclectic lineup of songs – everything from classic Broadway to current musical theater. Rehearsals for the show encompass all areas of ensemble participation. This is the perfect place for a budding actor or experienced rock star just itching to tear up the stage Come play with us!
Note: There is a $40 surcharge per session for additional materials and staff requirements.
Schedule
Half the day consists of Musical Theater. For the other half of the day, your child is placed in a recreation group of 8-10 campers in the same grade and gender where all campers enjoy lunch, instructional swim and recreational sports.
