Camp Carnegie back with summer-full opportunities for theater, art, and education for kids ages 7-12


Camp Carnegie is back for another summer of theatre, art, and education.

This year, students will explore a character’s transformation as they navigate life through another’s perspective. They will learn how these new perspectives affect their character’s choices during Camp Carnegie: The Other Side.

Open to children ages 7-12, Camp Carnegie: The Other Side offers students the chance to develop characters, devise plot lines, and share their stories of acceptance live on stage.
 

Camp Carnegie, last year

This year, The Carnegie is offering four half-day camps at The Carnegie’s Eva G. Farris Education Center, as well as two half-day camps at the Lincoln Grant Scholar House Auditorium, located two blocks from The Carnegie.

Due to its popularity last year, The Carnegie will again offer full-day camps, expanding them to four weeks. These will run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

Over the course of the workshops, children will have fun exploring the world of theatre through hands-on art making, character and costume design, dramatic exercises, script writing, problem solving and more. All Camp Carnegie: The Other Side theatre workshops will conclude with a live performance on stage for friends and family.

Ten Camp Carnegie: The Other Side workshops will be offered from June through August:
