 CREATIVE ADVENTURERS CLUB

Theatre Under The Stars hosts the Creative Adventurers Club, an innovative “Outward Bound for the Arts”. This camp emphasizes the newest educational model; a fluid, experiential learning mentorship (rather than teacher-student) experience. A 2 week-long creative “hang” where kids age 5-17 and adult mentors explore various arts mediums—theater, stage combat, video, writing, poetry, playwriting, singing, songwriting, visual arts. Together the adult mentors and kid adventurers engage in nature, recreational and arts activities; exploring all the various ways that the inspiring beauty of the natural surroundings feeds the artistic expressions of the soul.
