2024 Summer Camp Reading Programs
Camp for Grades K-3
Grades K–3
Leader: Emma Hallowell
July 15-19, 2024: 9:00am–12:30pm*
July 22-26, 2024: 9:00am–12:30pm*
​
*full, apply for waiting list
The main focus revolves around stories, curiosity, contemplation and exploring in the Weeks Memorial Forest. We will craft and build fairy houses and do long hikes IN the Broad Brook Creek! Truly an epic moment which is shared by all. Last year we discovered a clay deposit and had a great time making sculptures. So much to see when we look around. There are always surprises and there is always nature at helm.
Sound & Stream
Grades 2–5
Leader: Jasmine Bete-Mitchell
July 29 - August 2, 2024*
9am–12:30pm
​
*full, apply for waiting list
This will focus on listening, global sonic awareness (geography/sounds from around the world), creating “music”, improvising with nature, “songwriting” and beyond. NO musical skills are required and we promise campers will leave with some aural reverberations. Led by Matt Valentine and Jasmine Bete-Mitchell, we are anticipating a harmonically exciting week with earth/space sound.
Stage & Stream
Grades 4–8
Leaders: Genevieve Redmond & Jasper Woliver
August 5-9, 2024
9am–3:30pm
An immersive and inspired workshop based program with a focus on PROCESS. We’ve kept journals, created storyboards, scripts, sets, incidental sounds… of course we’ve developed characters, scenes, monologues, mini-plays along with many many theater games and exercises. This usually blossoms into a performance if the kids are into it at the end of camp. If the “show” happens it’s a fun window into the worlds they’ve created during Stage & Stream.
