Camp Good Work
An arts-based summer camp for 7-13 year olds.
We offer two tracks: Make it! and Perform it!
“Make It!”
Campers on this track will focus on design and build challenges. We will work our way through discovery and design processes to invent, sketch, and then build our ideas to life with recycled materials, fabrics, clay and wood. Towards the end of camp, our builders will help make set pieces that will be used by campers from our "Perform It!” track.
“Perform It!”
Campers in this group will receive instruction in theater, writing, movement, and circus. We'll work through improv and devised theater techniques as well as looking at story structure and character development. During the 2 weeks they will develop a story as a group, create a script, blocking and movement, and perform their work at our Family Sharing on the final day of camp.
Details
Camp runs from 9am-3:30pm and will take place at 168 Duane St. in Manhattan.
Brooklyn based campers meetup will be Grand Army Plaza at 8:30am.
Total cost for 2 weeks of camp is $1200. Given that our work will be cumulative we’d prefer for campers to join us for both weeks.
We have a total of 16 slots.
Pretzels will be served as snacks at 10:30am and fruit 2pm each day.
