2021 is the Summer of...
THE MOMENT

In 2021, students in the Winnipesaukee Playhouse Education Department’s Summer Camp program will collaborate creatively, play games, make art, explore music and movement… all to create stories about the BIG moments in the past, present, and future. Original storylines will focus on real and fictional events, places, and characters. Join us for a single session or for a whole summer of engaging exploration and silly fun!

Join us for an unforgettable summer!

Please note: 2020 has been a year of adaptation and flexibility. In that spirit, it's important to note that we do not yet know what, if any, COVID-19 protocols will still be necessary by July of 2021. Anyone registering for a summer program should assume that the program will include some amount of mask wearing, social distancing, health screenings, temperature checks, and all of the other things we have all come to associate with safer behaviors designed to slow the spread of the pandemic. We will announce those details as they become available and with plenty of notice before programming begins.

Camps 1 and 2
​
Students Age 5-11 (Entering Grades K-5)

Click HERE to Register Now!
Camp 1 (generally ages 5-7) offers friendly instruction in theatre, art, movement, and music in a supportive environment using the Playhouse’s unique and successful arts-integration approach. Each week is based on a different theme-- this makes it possible for students to attend one week or multiple weeks! Each week culminates in a showcase of the week's activities presented to friends and families on Friday!

Camp 2 (generally ages 8-11) continues and extends the work done in Camp 1, though no experience is required. Each week culminates in a showcase of the week's activities presented to friends and families on Friday!

The morning gives students direct instruction in vocal and physical characterization, theatrical terms and concepts, and offers the opportunity to devise their own theatrical productions through play, improvisation, and storytelling.

The afternoon brings workshops in art, movement, and music. Each hands-on workshop gives students the opportunity to explore techniques, important figures, and other topics in each area.

The Upper Camp
Students Age 12-14 (Entering Grades 6-8)

Click HERE to Register Now!
Students in this two-week, full-day camp are ready to accelerate a little more, thought they will still adapt and write scripts connecting to each session’s themes. Camp activities will focus on vocal and physical acting and how strong choices on a performer’s part in these areas can help to make a strong impression on the audience.  Additionally, they will design and realize their own set, lights, and costumes as well as helping with bringing showcases to life for Camps 1 and 2. The extended camp session provides time for increased script comprehension and more time to rehearse and refine the final showcase production, presented to friends and family on the final Friday of camp!

More About Themes for 2021
​
Each week has a slightly different focus. Join us for a single session or an entire summer of fun!

​From the Past (July 5 – 9)
Students delve into moments from history during this week: Da Vinci finishes the Mona Lisa, The Beatles play The Ed Sullivan Show, dinosaurs disappear from the Earth, Marie Curie wins the Nobel Prize… you never know who might show up!

Up and Away (July 12 – 16)
From hot air balloons and tightrope performers to the first airplanes and the Space Race, this week of camp will have students playing games, making art, and exploring high-flying moments of all kinds!

Off the Grid (July 19 – 23)
Whether it’s descending to the deepest parts of the ocean, a visit with Nessie or Bigfoot, or sunset in the Sahara Desert… the activities at camp this week are all about moments that are a little “out there!”

On the Edge (July 26 – 30)
This week, students investigate moments that explode limitations! They’ll consider inventions from the wheel to the computer, discoveries from fire to black holes, forms of storytelling from cave paintings to Broadway musicals, and more!

Behind the Story (August 2 – 6)
Did early humans REALLY live in caves? How did Helen Keller REALLY learn to communicate? Was the Big Bad Wolf REALLY that bad? This week, students investigate, discover, and invent the story behind the story!

Into the Future (August 9 – 13)
What will the future hold? Someone may be the first to travel at light speed or through time. Someone may create robots that can feel emotions. Someone definitely will draw, paint, sculpt, sing, dance and act in ways nobody today can imagine. Students in this week of camp will ask the question, “what if it’s me?”
