Our Workshops / Camps

Summer interlocking camp

WARRIOR QUEENS

July 9-13, 9am-4pm

From Joan of Arc to Cleopatra, history is full of women who ruled on the battlefield as well as in court. For this week-long summer camp, we'll focus on the indomitable dames, often based on real-life leaders, who fight their way through Shakespeare's works.

The tempest: An Enchanted Bootcamp

MIDSUMMER MASQUE

July 16-20, 9am-4pm

Nothing is more dramatic than an Shakespearean party. Masques, disguises, revelations, romance and fights, a party is a place where anything can happen, including a good time. This week-long summer camp will focus on Shakespeare's party scenes, from "Romeo and Juliet" to "Much Ado about Nothing."
