Wild Wild West June 10-14, 2024

Step right up for the wildest camp in the wilderness! This week we are stepping up on stage, singing out, and working on our square dancing skills. We will dive into some of our favorite Golden Age Broadway musicals as well as some country favorites. Our cowpokes will also explore classic folk storytelling around the campfire as they create characters, write scripts, and express themselves through acting. Keeping with the ways of the Wild Wild West, we will learn to create from the world around us through nature, animals, and our friends as we go along. Get ready for a rootin’ tootin’ good time for our Wild Wild West first week of camp!

Weekly Focus:

Book Ends

Hello reader, it’s me, the author. Have you ever imagined a world where you could open a book and jump in? Well, now’s your chance! Join us this week and discover what it takes to be just like me…what will you write? What worlds will you create? Who will be your hero and who will be your villain? During our adventure we will head to the “Cavern of Pages” and discover our own storyteller within.
