Spring Break Camp 2025 had a spectacular first day!

Today was all about getting to know each other and building our community!

We started off strong with warm-ups and a few high energy theater games to break the ice. Then, together we created our group agreement setting the stage (literally!) for a fun week ahead.

After snack, we jumped right into the exciting world of improv! The campers learned the golden rules of improvisation and played a game called “Bus Stop,” where their mission was to get their scene partner out of their seat using only their words and the power of a silly scenario.

Next up was music with Emily! She led the group in vocal warmups, then turned up the fun with karaoke to “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast and “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid.

Believe it or not, that only brings us to lunch. We enjoyed indoor lunch, then headed outside to The Common for some jungle gym recess and time to recharge.

In the afternoon, we explored the art of tableau still and silent pictures that tell a story. The group created incredible snapshots from arctic tundras to sunny beach days! Afterward, we split into small groups and took it a step further by creating beginning, middle, and end tableaux based on classic stories. Each group performed for the rest of the campers, and they had to guess which story was being told — and they nailed it every time! It was amazing to see how creatively they brought these tales to life all without saying a word!

To wrap up our day, we began imagining the world of our final performance and what a start! So far, we’ve got two exciting ideas brewing: a reimagined fairytale and a wacky, anything-goes Western. We can’t wait to see where their imaginations take us next.

And remember— our big performance will take place this Friday at 2:00 PM.

Stay tuned for more updates as the adventure continues!
