Merry Christmas, campers! Our eighth day of camp is filled with holiday spirit as we prepare for our opening performance of James and the Giant Peach JR., prepping all of our mystical technical elements for audiences to enjoy. 

Before we begin teching our show, campers headed to the stage to review everything they have learned throughout all of their classes. Ms. Keira took charge today, ensuring every performance was in tip-top shape. After all of their diligent work, campers earned a nice, long snack break!

Merry Almost Christmas 🎄

Despite being 5 months away, campers showed up dining their most festive attire for our Christmas in July theme day! From Santa beards to sparkling Christmas lights, our campers were ready to start celebrating their favorite holiday season. Don’t worry campers, Christmas is only 161 days away, but who’s counting?

Let the Magic Begin🪄

Back by popular demand, Mr. Wagenborg continues Kickball tournaments in games!

Some of our younger campers practiced their music with Mr. Michael.
