Our campers lit up with a FUN filled week of: a FUN Theater Arts, Improv, Outdoor play, Survival Skills, Spirit Animal Activities and Character Exploration, and even a Virtual Campfire with Guitar, Songs and Stories.  A media free camp created a nature-centric community with friends new and old.   

The Nature curriculum included stories and activities featuring the fire element.  The bar was high - and EVERY KIDS ROCKED their performance in "FIRE SPIRITS" - an interactive play about fire: mythical and informative.

The Campers will learn and perform a story about FIRE.  We have chosen to feature the fire element because of the devastating Napa fires in 2017.  

KIDS CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY FEEL CONNECTED TO -WE USE HUMOR AND STORY TO CONNECT THEM TO NATURE.

OUR SUMMER CAMP Theatrical PLAY IS ABOUT FIRE
​Stories heal, and bring understanding.​

With the events of the last year in California , we introduce a new FIRE themed walking play for camp called "Fire Spirits".  As the kids lead the story - it will inform about fire in mythical and informational ways.  When the campers lead, mentor and help other kids, it empowers the budding performers to become leaders.

At pickup, we encourage parents to bring siblings and the camper's friends to experience the walking play.
