Let's get down to business! Come test your strength as we dance like warriors, learn about Chinese culture through folktales, and celebrate the beautiful and brave story of Mulan ! A Small, Confidence-Building Summer Camp for Creative Kids Ages 3–6 Full Day or Half Day Options Whether your child already enjoys performing or is a little hesitant, our camps are designed to build confidence and get kids excited about being themselves. Small groups, caring teachers, and thoughtfully designed days filled with storytelling, movement, and play. New Themes Every Week - Each week is built around a story kids may already love or are excited to discover, brought to life through acting, dance, art, and imaginative play. This camp is a great fit if your child: loves imaginative play enjoys music, movement, or storytelling is confident, shy, or somewhere in between benefits from a smaller, more supportive environment A Weekly Share for Families - At the end of each week, families are invited to a short, relaxed sharing of what the children have been exploring. Led by our teaching artists, this moment is about celebrating the process—giving kids a chance to feel proud of what they’ve worked on throughout the week together. There’s no memorization or pressure to perform. Children are invited to participate in whatever way feels right for them.

This ensemble will jump into the rehearsal process with a focus on story creation and scripted scene study. We meet each actor where they are, and build a company of skilled performers; centering bravery, imagination and truthfulness. Improvisation and theater games help stoke creativity, develop the company and the spirit of play. Taught by master teachers and performers at the top of their field, kids learn skills that will serve them the rest of their creative lives. Camp culminates in a live performance for families on Friday afternoon. The students of Asimov Elementary are presenting their science fiction projects to compete in the annual SCIENCE FICTION SCIENCE FAIR. Time Travel! Evil Robots! Mind Control! A ficus with the voice of an angel! But when the fight for first place threatens to topple the school, can they put their brilliant heads together to save the school (and also the space-time continuum)??!! It’s immersive! It’s musical! It’s SCI-FI FAIR! In this original scripted play by Brandon Zelman, kids work on scenes, explore character back stories, and craft their own science fair projects. The show is performed live on Friday, September 4. Fort Greene camps meet at 138 South Oxford Street, with visits to South Oxford Playground.
