All aboard for the Making Light one-week virtual trip around the world! Students "travel" to Ireland and Greece to learn folk dances, to Japan for shadow puppetry, Greece for mask-making and acting, Africa for story-telling, and much more ...

Campers who attend June 19-23 will create artwork, act out stories, learn dances and sing songs from all over the world by rotating between music, art, dance and theatre (for details on the schedule, see below). Weather permitting, we will take a "walking field trip" to the Challenger Learning Center Imax Theater on Friday, June 23.*

*Field trips are additional cost of approximately $10, based upon the shows available at the time.  Details -- as well as a permission form -- will be provided at the beginning of the camp week

About Summer Camp at Making Light Productions

MLP is conveniently located in downtown Tallahassee at 355 N. Monroe, one block north of Tennessee St., at the corner of Monroe and Virginia (next to Hotel Duval). Our performing arts camps runs 8:30 - 5:30 each day, during which campers rotate between music, art, dance and theatre.  We have camp every week of the summer, except the week of 4th of July.

We accept campers ages 5-16, and we welcome children of all abilities. Our maximum number of campers is 20 students, divided by age group, and we have a ratio of at least one adult staff member to ten students at all times. Campers bring their own lunches, which we eat together in a communal dining area at around 12 pm each day. We provide a morning and afternoon snack (please alert us in writing of any food allergies or sensitivities ASAP), and weather permitting, we walk to a park once a day for an outdoor snack "picnic" and/or another outdoor activity.

After lunch each day, campers will enjoy 1.5 hours of quiet time, during which an age-appropriate movie related to the weekly theme will be shown on the big screen, and campers will have the option of watching the movie, drawing or reading in the Quiet Room, or playing on electronic devices. (Electronic devices are only allowed out during free time.)
