Choosing Your Track
As a M.A.D. Camper, you get to choose two of the following four “tracks” (or areas of interest) for your creative sessions throughout the week:
- Music - The music track, taught by an experienced music educator, will explore percussion instruments from around the world. Singing and movement will complement the instruments.
- Art - The art track, taught by a veteran visual art instructor, will emphasize line and storytelling (Grades K-3) and shape and painting (Grades 4-8). Please dress for mess and FUN!
- Drama - The drama track will have Grades K-3 reading a story and then acting it out. Grades 4-8 will work on memorizing and acting out short monologues.
- Creative Writing - The creative writing track, taught by seasoned instructors and professionals, will provide you with structured opportunities to express your unique voice through the mediums of narrative poetry and prose.
