There will also be outdoor components of this camp: popsicles, playground, and giant bubbles!
Students will share some of what they’ve learned at a short performance for parents/siblings/grandparents during the final afternoon.
This is a drop-off camp: we will help create a comfortable transition for your child when they arrive each day. Campers will bring a lunch to eat together, during which we will watch age appropriate clown material from some of the greats like: Charlie Chaplin, Lucille Ball, Laurel & Hardy, Mr. Bean, and Monty Python.
Please complete one form for each child who will be attending camp. We will send additional information about what to expect and camp procedures as we get closer to summer. Don’t hesitate to call Kolleen at 802-377-1742 or email kolleenkintz@gmail.com with any questions.
