Finding Your Voice: Part I
Session 6: July 27 - August 7 (3rd - 5th Graders) 
Finding Your Voice: Part II

Finding Your Voice is a dynamic, music-centered experience designed to help students grow in confidence, creativity, and self-expression.

In this session, students will explore the power of their unique voices through singing, movement, rhythm activities, and introductory musical theatre exercises. While we will incorporate fun games and collaborative activities, the primary focus will be on music: building vocal skills, understanding basic performance techniques, developing stage presence, and learning how to express emotion through song.

Students can expect:
• Group vocal warm-ups and technique development
• Fun, high-energy music and movement activities
• Confidence-building performance exercises
• Opportunities for solo and small group singing
• A supportive space to creatively express themselves

“Finding Your Voice” is designed to nurture both musical ability and self-confidence. Whether a child is naturally outgoing or more reserved, this session will encourage them to step outside their comfort zone in a safe, uplifting environment.

Session 2: June 29 - July 10 (6th - 8th Graders) 
Magical Realism and Ensemble in The Weight of Wings 
What happens when the extraordinary lands in the middle of the ordinary? Inspired by Gabriel García Márquez’s short story "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" and the adventurous spirit of 80s cult classics like The Goonies, The Weight of Wings is a play about a group of neighborhood kids who stumble upon a celestial mystery. As they navigate the curiosity and cruelty of their town, they must decide: is this "creature" a miracle to be protected, or a curiosity to be sold? It’s a story of a found family, the burden of wonder, and the literal weight of growing up.
In this session, students will explore magical realism, ensemble work, and physical theatre. How do you portray a being with wings on a stage? We will experiment with movement, puppetry, and creative staging to bring the impossible to life. We’ll dive into the "strange in the mundane." Students will learn how to treat the supernatural with total sincerity, a hallmark of Márquez’s style. Using The Goonies as a blueprint, we’ll focus on building a tight-knit ensemble. Students will learn how to create distinct, high-energy characters that feel like a real pack of friends. Even though the play is scripted, there will be opportunities in the camp to change the script to suit the cast.
