Adventure Day: Stories on the Move
Get ready for a thrilling day of creativity and imagination! In this adventure-themed mini camp, students bring epic stories to life through acting, improv, and musical theater. They might become explorers, detectives, time travelers, or heroes on a quest—each camper helps create the day’s unique performance world. Guided by teaching artists, kids develop teamwork, storytelling, and stage skills while having a blast inventing new characters and scenes. The day wraps up with a lighthearted sharing of their discoveries and adventures.
