Looking for summer activities for the kids: Check out Camp Carnegie for theatre, art, education — and fun


Camp Carnegie is back for another summer of theatre, art, and education. This year, students will explore the fabulous world of fables from a new perspective. They will teach their audience a lesson as they work together to perform their brand new, 21st Century fables live on stage during Camp Carnegie 2019: Move Over, Mr. Aesop!

Open to children ages 7-12, Camp Carnegie: Move Over, Mr. Aesop! offers students the chance to develop characters, devise plot lines, and share their lesson-based stories of acceptance live on stage. 

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

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: Move Over, Mr. Aesop! theatre workshops will conclude with a live performance on stage for friends and family.
