Materials You Will Need to Provide

A copy of Shakespeare's Secret for Shakespeare’s Birthday Bash. 

 

Costume: Each camper will need to provide their own costume for the Camp Finale performance. We will give more information about this at the parent meeting, including ways to use materials on hand as well as where to purchase inexpensive costumes online. No tights required!

​

camp finale Performance

The culminating experience of the camp week will be the campers starring in “Masquerade! An Evening with the Bard.” Families, friends, and the community are invited to attend. We have carefully selected wonderful, accessible scenes with Shakespeare’s original language; each scene is edited for length and will last 3-4 minutes. Participants will be given their scene script at least one month before the camp, and they will be required to completely memorize their parts before the first day of camp. At pre-camp we will teach how to prepare for their scene so all campers will be completely prepared to learn their parts. During camp we will teach all necessary acting techniques, providing daily one-on-one guidance, feedback, and time to practice their scenes.​

​

Camp Policies

We are going to have a lot of fun at our camp, but we expect all campers to behave respectfully to other participants and adults. We will not tolerate bullying of any kind, destruction of personal property, crude language, or swearing.

​​

Our days will be packed with engaging activity, and, so everyone can get the most out of the experience, we also have a NO-CELL-PHONE POLICY: Your camper can either leave their phone at home or place it in a basket in the entryway upon arrival. If you need to reach your child you may contact any teacher and we will make sure your child can reach you if he or she needs to. If your child chooses to bring their phone we are not responsible for lost or damaged phones. Should your child violate any of our policies they may be asked to leave the camp, and no refund will be given.

​

Additional Challenges (Optional) 

If campers would like to do fun, extra Shakespeare learning on their own, we have provided several optional challenges. Campers have between registration and the Friday Performance date to complete their challenges. However, we will need to know which projects they WILL HAVE completed by the last day of camp. They will need to pass each one off to a parent and complete the specific challenge forms. A certificate will be awarded to each student at the Camp Finale performance, listing their completed challenges. Anyone who reads Shakespeare's Secret  AND completes at least 6 challenges will receive a special prize. Challenges will be available at time of registration.

​​

Quick-Start Challenges: For those first-time campers who would like to feel more comfortable with the content in the Masquerade! camp, you may want to complete the Three Quick-Start Challenges before camp. Each Challenge you complete will count toward the 6 needed to receive a prize. Anyone can complete the Quick Start challenges.
