We did our first summer camp last year and it was a huge success, so congrats on taking this on! We had two age groups, rising 3-6 grades and rising 7-9. Both groups started the day together with warm up games, then separated into two groups, cycling through stations: art, acting, music and choreography. They learned the same song in both music and choreography, so they could sing and dance it.
At the end, we had an art show, and the younger group did a reader's theatre piece with movement, and their song/dance. The older group did a memorized short play (20 mins) and their own song/dance. Then we came together as one big group and sang a final song all together, with some very simple movement.
It was a huge hit with the kids and the parents seemed really happy, too. It was also a good fundraiser for us.

We are tackling a theatre camp for elementary students 3rd - 5th grades. This is our first year and are looking for recommendations. We are wanting them to perform readers theatre style productions and then a small choreographed number at the end of the week. Any information or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
