2019 SESSIONS
While each session has a specific theme, we always offer circus arts, lots of time outside, visual art and space to work on a collaborative performance at the end of the week. Storycamp is a child-directed program; when kids are especially excited about something, their interest helps shape the curriculum.

This session we have opportunities to use puppetry, stop-motion animation, story-boarding, set-building, dance, and foley art to create a piece that is musical and story-rich.
