Summer 2008

Workshops for Ages 5 to 9
We appeal to those campers who enjoy hands-on activities, small teacher to student ratios (1 - 13), a relaxed atmosphere, and plenty of time for activities balanced with social time.  Most workshops take place indoors in air-conditioned class areas, but everyone has an outdoor component to their workshop.		Learn more about Kidspace for ages 6-8  -- the one camp that goes swimming twice a week! All of our camps for younger children allow for plenty of buddy time - socializing outdoors, eating lunch, playing in our shaded play area on swings, slides, or wooden structures. There's even a special garden space - a great place for magical creatures to rest during the day and for birds and squirrels to visit.
Workshops for Ages 8 to 11
For our 8 - 11 year olds, we have camps which focus on outdoor activities and others which focus on arts with  hands-on, interactive activities, such as clay, painting, and creating outdoor art. Our workshops involve writing, planning, team building, sharing ... in a nonacademic setting. There's plenty of sitting on the floor, spilling outside to the lawn, or walking in the forest.
		For our young performers we have theatre camps as well as a comedy camp. Our theater teachers have produced plays and been teaching theater arts in a school setting for many years.   (See Staff)
Workshops for Ages 9-13
For our older performers, ages 10 up, we have classes in comedy as well as theatre.  These camps put on performances for other camps and friends and families on Fridays -- a highlight of the camp experience.  It's a great way for other campers to know what's going on in the workshops and an opportunity for our performers to shine. Check out A Total Act (ages 6 - 8), A Taste of Broadway (ages 9 - 13), Totally Theatrical, Backyard Broadway, and numerous Comedy Camps offered by DSI Comedy Club.
		Or for the musicians, we have classes for musicians that include songwriting, instrument making, and recording. This year's features are Let's Rock, Guitar with Hal, Acoustic Adventure and Drum Flow.
We offer camps dedicated to outdoor activities and the environment. . Check out Riverwalking, Fort Building, Earth Arts, Earth Keepers, Princess of the Forest, Back to Basic Skills, Climate Crunch...to name a few.
For our older campers we also offer specialized camps in art, cooking, theatre, music, drawing, dispute settlement, climate study (using Legos),storytelling, video production,		and web design.
