Join us for hands on creativity, filled with games, collaboration and theater!
Led by TMS' Drama Specialist Mr. C, Camp Create is a nurturing and engaging introductory theater arts camp filled with fun, collaboration and learning. Based on principles of ensemble theatre and collaborative play, campers engage in dynamic exploratory activities, introducing them to acting, improv, creative movement, and more. The camp will culminate with a family-friendly “Sharing Showcase,” where campers share an original performance reflecting lessons learned and skills acquired.
This camp is geared for children with little to no performance experience and will foster creativity, confidence and caring by engaging students through theater games, activities, community building and performance.
Before and After Care are not available for Camp Create. Children must bring a nut-free lunch & water bottle from home daily.
