Camp is right around the corner and now is the time to be sure you are ready for anything that comes your way this summer. Just like you wouldn't go into the wilderness without making a list of the essentials; flashlight, bug spray, sleeping bag, food, you don't want to start camp without these essential theater and entertainment resources.
mainstages will be leading two workshops at the annual American Camp Association Tri-State Conference, held at the Atlantic City Convention Center. Join us for a fun and interactive session that will help you get campers engaged and energized.
Super Simple Ways to Entertain Campers Wednesday, March 9th at 2:00 - 3:00 pm Room 201
This high-energy and interactive session offers tons of easy to implement games and activities to make ordinary camp moments, extraordinary. These innovative activities mix elements of charades, sense memory, improvisation, relay races, and group challenges in a way that can be applied anywhere from the field to the amphitheater at a moment's notice. This session is relevant for anyone from the seasoned Camp Director to first time counselor.
Theater for Everyone Wednesday, March 9th at 3:15 - 4:15 pm Room 201
Many of the skills taught in theater can be applied to the camp community. For anyone actively involved in camp programming, this session provides in-depth tools, games and resources to create effective programming using theatrical practices and activities as a foundation for unique camp programs like evening programs, rainy days and theme days.
