Woodshop Camp
July 14 - 18, August 11 – 15
Boys and Girls ages 10 – 14 • Cost: $540
Do you love to work with your hands and use your imagination? How about building projects from scratch? Then join us for Woodshop Camp. Participants will choose from beginner to advanced projects, including audio-visual cubes, wall shelves, furniture, and more. All projects will involve measuring, cutting, drilling, sanding, and nailing. Campers will learn the proper use of tools, and then will use them under the close supervision of our woodshop director, Warner “Woody” Wood, who has been teaching woodworking for over a decade. Each day our young carpenters will receive handouts explaining various tools that will be used, as well as woodworking methods and practices. At the end of the week, campers will be able to bring their projects home and show them off with pride. No experience is necessary – just a willingness to learn and have fun. Very experienced? Choose one of the more advanced projects and you will be challenged as well.

If it was easy, it wouldn’t be much fun – and we like to have fun! No matter what skills you have coming in to camp, we will challenge you to learn a variety of new skills, and to take your existing skills as far as you can. You will work harder than you have every worked before, and experience a summer like none you have ever had before.
Our day is broken into a series of skills classes, with each class focused on a specific circus art. Students will have the opportunity to learn acrobatic arts such as tumbling and hoop diving; equilibristic arts such as stilt walking, unicycle riding and wire walking; manipulative arts such as juggling and diabolo; aerial arts such as static trapeze and aerial silks; and drama arts such as stage presence, clowning, and physical comedy.
At the end of each two-week session comes the show, and the pay off for all of the hard work and dedication. Circus arts campers produce a full 45 minute show where they share their newfound skills with other campers, family, and friends.
Circus arts campers should wear a unitard or biketard and bring a bathing suit, towel, water bottle, and change of clothes everyday. Each camper will also receive a detailed handbook allowing them to continue practicing their skills outside of camp.
