Calling all Dreamers - Purple Monkey Playroom Can't Wait to Create with You!
What is a "Dreamer?" There is a "dramatic" in everyone. Sometimes we just need a little help getting comfortable enough to share it. Through the art of theater, campers will learn the process of exploration and creativity through scriptwriting, set design and of course acting - no experience necessary! They will learn to push themselves to grow, work with one another and ultimately be able to see themselves in new ways. Our nurturing camp is grounded in Montessori-based methods. We follow the child at their own pace and simply help guide them to the finish line. And, of course, summer is for fun and sunshine so all non-rainy days will be spent outdoors, with built-in field time at nearby Holstein Park.
