American Girl Craft + Performance Camp

The 1990's nostalgia will be strong at this camp which, in the mornings, will feature historical crafts and activities from the time period of some of these beloved characters. After lunch, we will work on play performances to bring their stories to life! Students will get to explore pieces of history through the eyes of girls from the past, and will enjoy being enveloped in their worlds with historical costumes and props. Note that we will feature some of the ORIGINAL American Girl characters for this camp! *If you've done this camp in the past - we will have a variety of projects, and different scripts - so it will be the same amount of fun, just with different characters and projects!*

Family and friends are invited to join us for a 4:00pm performance on Friday to wrap up the week! Each student receives two free tickets to the show; additional seats are $5 each.

Enjoy theme days each day of camp (pajama day, crazy socks day, etc.).
Campers are expected to turn phones in at the beginning of each day and only retrieve them on breaks or at day's end.
3 Performances for family/friends to attend (students MUST be available for all performances)

Each Storybook performance is a group effort and we need YOUR help to make everything come together!
