About This Activity
Dive into the imaginative world of “Where the Wild Things Are” with a unique camp experience led by Carrie Connell and Michelle Karst, blending the vibrant realms of art and theater to bring wild fantasies to life! This special camp will host 30 creative campers, engaging them in an integrated journey of drama and sculpture. Under the guidance of Michelle and Carrie, with thier rich backgrounds, campers will create dramatic “screamers” — expressive sculptures with wide-open mouths crafted from newspaper and plaster gauze, inspired by Dan Reeder’s “Simple Screamers.” The adventure doesn’t stop at sculpture-making; it extends into the theater where campers will act out scenes from the beloved story “Where the Wild Things Are.” This holistic approach ensures that each child not only learns to craft intricate art pieces but also gains the confidence to perform on stage. To support their theatrical debut, Carrie and Michelle plan to incorporate theater flats and minimal yet impactful costuming, alongside papier-mâché masks and props made by the campers themselves. This cross-curricular effort aims to culminate in a final showcase where art and performance beautifully converge, allowing campers to display their creations and talent. Join us for a summer where every day is an opening night, and every creation tells a story!
