Unleash your creativity at Camp Touchstone! Let your imagination run wild under the bright lights of the Touchstone stage while you learn about the magic of performance from professional theatre-makers. We focus on empowering campers through discovering the delight of play, the power of their own imagination and creative self-expression. Using theatre as a launching point, our campers learn to embrace who they are and follow their passions to develop their own distinctive voice. With games, activities, crafts, chill-out time, and more, this day camp allows participants to meet new friends and express their growing sense of self in a safe, playful, fun-filled environment. Take the plunge and discover the whole new world of possibilities that await you at Camp Touchstone!

A Day in the Life of Camp Touchstone

Morning

  • Warm Up & Theatre Games – centered on increasing focus, communicating ideas, building connections and trust, and most importantly having fun!
  • Large Group Activities – teaching basic ideas around performing and creating theatre. Examples include improvisation, character creation, dialogue/monologue, conflict, design, etc.
  • Snack Time – provided by Touchstone.
  • Small Group Activities – a chance for the campers to create their own performances! Our teachers guide them through creating scenes and elements that will be incorporated into the final performance.

Break Time

  • Lunch – campers will bring their own lunches.
  • Chill Out – a chance for introspection and time to relax and reflect on what they have learned today.

Afternoon

  • Crafts – students create and build things with their own hands. An exploration into other forms of creative self-expression, with some practical applications for the final performance.
  • Games and Closing – ending the day with a bang! A return to the games the campers love most, leaving them excited to come back for more the next day.
