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, led by retired teachers, will begin each session with a warm-up drawing, followed by the project of the day. Each session will end with an art game. Children will also collaborate on a large group project.
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.
Dance - The dance strand will celebrate movement, joy, and the unique spark in every child. Regardless of their experience level or ability, every child can step onto the floor with confidence and leave with a smile.
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.
