We're almost done with session 1 of our 8 week summer camp and next week we're exploring the theme Healing Through Comedy, where campers will explore characters who use comedy for healing through shows like Elf, Shrek, Alice in Wonderland, and more.

🎭 There are still two spaces in our half-day Rising Kindergarten/1st Graders group (ages 4-6) and four spaces available in our Shuberts group (ages 11–13) for this session, and space remains in several upcoming sessions throughout the summer.

Thank you to NorCal Arts Teaching Artist UnChu Littlefield for thoughtfully curating and installing this beautiful showcase of student work.
