Calling all theater and nature-lovers! Join Earthroots instructor Angela Capps for a fun filled week of Forest Theatre Camp! Angela brings her passion for acting and professional training and experience in theater, improv, and music.
Children ages 5-14 are invited to spend the week in the unspoiled beauty of Big Oak Canyon for this exciting camp. Big Oak, Earthroots 39-acre property located on ancestral Acjachemen and Tongva territory in Silverado Canyon, California, is the perfect backdrop for our Forest Theatre Camp. This land includes 200+ year old oak trees, diverse native flora, flowing creeks and ample intact ecosystems, for children to observe and explore.
The children will learn and perform Wild, A Week At Nature Camp, an original nature themed script written by Angela. They will participate in various aspects of the production including character development, dances, singing, improv and prop building. This camp will help kids build confidence and deepen their connection with the natural world. We will go on nature walks at the end of each day of camp. Singing and dancing will be optional.
The week of camp will end in a spectacular display of talent and fun as campers showcase the original skit for friends and family. Enthusiastic applause guaranteed!
