Summer Camp!
Through the combination of storytelling and puppetry theater focused on Literacy standards English/Language Arts/Writing, Listening, and Speaking,
campers will experience visual, kinesthetic, auditory, and reading/written programs in their daily camp. Visual learners will enjoy storyboarding a folktale. Kinesthetic learners will relish the dexterity involved
in master puppetry. Auditory learners will delight in the turns of phrases particular to folktale language and try out character voices and expressions. Reading/written learners will enjoy reviewing scripts
and making their own drafts of stories and all campers will develop a story using their new learned knowledge for production and performance. In addition to the positive social and emotional impacts of the program
the camp will address, measure, and program literacy standards and comprehension in a small group environment with the exciting theater production elements as a backdrop environment and learning tool.

Support Us
We are so proud of the work we do with our small staff of professional puppeteers and theater artists and we are excited to re-open our doors after over a year! Throughout the worst of the pandemic, we provided drive-in shows to families who needed a break out of the house to see live entertainment. While we are so happy to return indoors, we are still facing a large loss of income from limited school and child care performances and the likelihood of no school field trips in the coming year. Please consider supporting us today with a monthly donation of any amount. Every little bit helps!
