Winter Puppet Camp

2024 camp cancelled

For ages 8-14.

Started in 2023 as an annual camp, join us over Windham region’s winter break for 5 days of puppet building, play making and show creation as we delve into the magical world of puppets! Under the chosen camp theme for the year, kids will explore basic puppet construction and develop scenes, culminating in a final performance for friends and family. Taught by Jana Zeller.
