Make Your Mark

Since caveman times, humans have left their mark or 'stamp' on a variety of surfaces.
In this hands-on summer art class, students will learn about one of the oldest forms of
printmaking--block printing or relief printing. Students will learn how to carve their own printmaking block and create prints from their own handmade stamps. A variety of materials will be used to make printmaking blocks, stamps, and printing plates from which final prints will be pulled.

*Once Upon a Time Theatre Camp

Ages 6-10

July 15-19, 9-12pm

Cost $150

Once upon a time in a magical far-away theatre camp, children set out to explore the fantastic world of fairy tales.  They will use their voices and imaginations to bring to life classic fairy tales while learning about theatre appreciation, acting skills and movement.  Students will work together to defeat the villains of the Enchanted Forest, act and dance out their inner Snow White or Prince Charming and of course move like Seven Dwarfs!  On the last day of camp, grown-ups will come far and wide to view these new fairy tales and they will live happily ever after.

*Bookworm Writing & Binding

Have you ever imagined you were a hero or heroine in your favorite book?  Each day, budding authors will hear a story and watch a film to be inspired to write their own version of that particular tale. This week is dedicated to teaching students literary appreciation, creative writing skills and book binding. Capping off our weeklong exploration will be a staged reading of the students work led by modern drama and young adult theatre educator, Jenni Nettleton.

 *Students can sign up for both camps. GPAC will provide supervision during the 1 hr lunch break.  

Dance Sampler

Cant decide which kind of dance to take? This camp is great for an al a carte dance summer.  Sample different forms of dance such as ballet, tap, jazz, modern, hip hop, and musical theatre.  Students will also explore dance history, learn choreography, view dance on video, and play movement games. This is the perfect camp for students who want to find out where they can shine!  The final day will include a short informal performance for family and friends at 11:30pm.
