Senior campers are ten to twelve plus years of age.
We will work with healthy daily rhythms, similar to those used in Waldorf schools, that help create an ideal environment for learning. There will be time for focused activity, imaginative play, games, and the great outdoors in each day. We will spend lots of time outside in nature, on walks, in the forest and on the farm.
Week 1 (June 19- 23, 2023)
Theme: Circus and Baking Camp
Come one, come all! It’s time to test your courage and challenge your skills while you explore the many apparatuses of the Circus arts. We will juggle, walk on a tight wire, balance on stilts, ride a unicycle, do tricks on the trapeze and reach great heights on our arial silks. During this week you will be taught the basics of all of the circus arts as well as have time to hone your skills with your preferred apparatus. While breaking from the circus after lunch we will learn some baking skills in the kitchen, creating a sweet treat to enjoy at the end of the day. Playful and delicious, that’s Circus and Baking Camp!

Week 3 (July 3- 7, 2023)
Theme: Rock Band Camp
As a musician, nothing can quite match the feeling of pounding drums, wailing guitar, deep bass and brilliant vocals all being played by a band in synchrony. And better yet, performing music in a band is one of the best ways to grow as a musician, team player and leader. Come continue, or start your journey as a performing rock musician and learn all of the skills you need to play in a band!
Throughout the week you will be placed in a band with like-minded musicians of a similar age and skill level, and work together while you learn to play, compose and perform music live on stage at the end of the week. Bring you instrument of choice and all other necessary gear is provided. This campo is best suited for beginner-intermediate musicians.
