Summer Camps
Half-Day Camps for Rising 6th – 9th Graders
Each summer, members of the arts faculty host a one week, half-day camp, aimed to give prospective students an experience on campus, sampling a high school elective course. This summer, we are offering four camps: Visual Art (Heroes and Villains), Printmaking, Cinematic Storytelling, and Music Performance Ensemble. All camps will be held the week of June 9 – 13.
Summer Camp - Cinematic Storytelling
Cinematic Storytelling Camp, June 9 – 13, 8:30am – 12:30pm, $300, Teacher: Michael Tully In just one week, this collective unit of campers will get to experience the entire process of making a short film, from idea to script to pre-production to shooting to editing to a finished film for all the world to see!
Summer Camp - Music Performance
Music Performance Ensemble Camp, June 9 – 13, 1 – 5pm, $300, Teacher: Ryan Young. Experience the joy of playing music of various genres with other young musicians in a fun, supportive, and engaging environment. Students will prepare and perform songs as a band live onstage after one week of intensive rehearsal.
Summer Camp - Printmaking - FULL
Printmaking Camp, June 9 – 13, 1 – 5pm, $300, Teacher: Angel Ortega. Campers will learn the basics of screen printing by creating stencils and a DIY mesh frame, and then printing 1-2 color designs on paper & canvas. Show up to camp ready to have fun and get messy!
Summer Camp - Visual Arts
Visual Arts Camp, June 9 – 13, 8:30am – 12:30pm, $300, Teacher: Johnny Walker, Art & Storytelling: Heroes & Monsters, and Everyone in Between! There are all kinds of characters within stories - good ones, bad ones, and the ones who are somewhere in between. These “in-betweens” are usually the most interesting. Over the course of the week we will try to figure out what makes an engaging character and how the stories we tell often have a lot to say about the world we live in.
