Ages 8-14

Tuition: $300.00 per student ($275 for returning campers)

Camp Shakespeare is a unique and lively way for young people to discover the basics of bringing the written word to life through the works of the world’s greatest playwright. We give campers an experience full of self-expression, confidence, creativity and teamwork. Campers participate in acting games and exercises, physical games and techniques, Renaissance dance, improvisation, poetry work, sword and costume design, stage combat, vocal techniques, and arts and crafts.

We explore the history of Shakespeare’s life and times and how it compares to our own. We also visit with professional actors, who rehearse their work for a performance of scenes and an abbreviated version of the Festival’s 2008 performance, Othello, on the Festival stage in Southmoreland Park.

All Camp Shakespeare performances of an abbreviated version of Othello and will take place on the Saturday after the last camp date.
