2012 Summer Camps!

Camp Shakespeare and Midsummer Faerie Camp give school-aged kids a creative way to spend the summer!

Camp Shakespeare 8 to 14 yrs.   Mon – Fri  9:30am to 2:30pm

July 16 – July 27 and July 30,  on the LGSF Stage in Oak Meadow Park  $300

This unique camp experience is for kids aged 8-14 who want to discover theatre through the works of one of the greatest writers in the English language. Students will learn about what it was like in William Shakespeare’s time–as an actor, as a kid, and in everyday life. We’ll also use Shakespeare’s plays and characters as a springboard into the wonderful world of acting. Students will gain confidence, learn to express themselves, and experience working as a team through dramatic games, creative movement and voice exercises, and classical scenework. The camp will culminate with a performance of a medley of Shakespeare’s work performed by the kids on the Los Gatos Shakespeare Festival’s stage in Oak Meadow Park. An evening performance will be held on July 30^st at 7pm

Midsummer Faerie Camp 5 yrs to entering 4^th grade

Young girls will learn to draw upon the magic within themselves and spread beauty and kindness to others. Working together with their Faerie Mentors, they will create costumes and transform the camp area into a fanciful glen perfect for creative exploration. The girls will also sing, compose poetry, keep journals and role play to develop positive self-esteem, confidence and compassion. This camp concludes with a Faerie Tea prepared by our faeries who will attend in the costumes, and recite the poetry, they have created during the week.

Mon – Fri.  9am to 1pm  June 25^th through June 29^th Loose Hall  (550 Hubbell Way, LG)  $110

Older girls will learn to draw upon the magic within themselves to spread kindness and wisdom to others. Faerie Mentors will spend 1.5 hours each morning with our Head Faerie to help plan the day’s activities and will be paired with the younger girls when they arrive.  Mentors will develop their self-esteem, assertiveness and compassion as they serve as role models for the younger girls. This camp concludes with a Faerie Tea prepared by our faeries who will attend in the costumes, and recite poetry, they have created during the week.
