The multi-arts School Vacation Camps at MoCo Arts are a great way for children to grow in the arts over February and April school vacation weeks.
Campers will dance, act, sing, and create fun art projects built around a camp theme. Camp is open to kids ages 4 years through 6th grade and runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
Campers can arrive as early as 8 a.m. and extended care options are available until 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Each week of camp ends with a mini-musical theatre performance on Friday afternoon where the children will have the opportunity to showcase their work.
Register by stopping by or calling MoCo Arts at (603) 357-2100.
February Vacation Camp runs from Feb. 25 through March 1. The camp theme for February is Aloha MoCo! Every day is a luau party as they explore the culture, mythology, music and dance of Hawaii and the Polynesian islands. Featuring a story about Maui and an enchanted Tiki, the Friday afternoon performance will be filled with beachy dance numbers, tropical serenades and some imaginative characters. Throw on a grass skirt and join in the fun.
April Vacation Camp runs from April 22 through April 26. April’s camp theme is Fantastic Creatures… and Where to Find Them. During this week of camp, the worlds of wizards, muggles and performing artists collide as they sing, dance and act in a musical theatre production all about the care of magical creatures. Unicorns, gryphons, nifflers and pixies will fill the stage as they tap into their imaginations and create a really fun show that will be performed on Friday afternoon. In addition to performing, campers at this day camp in downtown Keene will also join in games, crafts, and other creative activities to fill this vacation week with fun.
Both vacation camps will take place at MoCo Arts’ new arts education facility at 40 Roxbury Street in Keene. The cost is $219 per week. Extended care is available for an additional fee. Tuition assistance is available.
