playwrights, actors, and stage crew as they translate their favorite books into fantastic
stage performances. On Monday and Tuesday campers will select favorite books and
begin writing scripts at the Gardens. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday’s camp days will
be held at the Arts Center where sets and props will be created, costumes will be made,
and campers will become stars! Friday’s productions will take place on the amazing John
Michael Kohler Art Center stage, where families are invited to join their campers for a
performance at 11 am.
