Middle School
Creative & Performing Arts Day Camp at The Shipley School
Adventures in the Arts for Ages 7–14
Julian Krinsky Creative & Performing Arts is an enchanting place where talented campers and instructors spend fun-filled summer days exploring the expressive opportunities, techniques and traditions of the classic art forms.
Four Majors for a Summer of Artistic Growth
Fine Arts — More than elementary “arts and crafts,” this is artwork that challenges students to think and create from their imagination. Our hands-on projects include ceramics, sculpture, environmental art, painting and drawing.
Theater — Acting and performance art are the core of this major, which teaches each student to use his or her imagination, body and voice to bring characters to life on stage. Trained theater professionals teach improvisation, movement and characterization, as well as story development and script writing.
Dance — The dance major develops students’ inherent talent by teaching creative dance techniques inspired by the music and dance of various cultures. Hip-hop, tap, musical theater, jazz and modern dance are joined in a program that emphasizes fun while drawing on each child’s special aptitude.
Costuming — If you like making things with your hands and love lots of colors and textures, you’ll enjoy working on costumes for our hit show. From session to session, we’ll also explore areas like mask making and creating puppets.
For Future Stars and First-Time Artists Alike
Creative & Performing Arts Camp offers boys and girls professional instruction in their choice of an arts major and elective workshops. Each 2-week session is devoted to a stylistic theme based on a historic era, culture, arts genre, exceptional artist or other subject. The theme is the focus of the campers’ work, culminating in a stage production on the final Friday of the session. Parents, family and friends invited!
