Camp Shakespeare is unique and fun summer arts adventure for young people ranging in age from 8-18. It’s also an educational introduction to the works of Shakespeare and theatre taught by professional teaching artists. Offered at community sites throughout the city, Camp Shakespeare gives campers an experience that builds confidence, encourages teamwork, and unleashes creativity. Camp Shakespeare also improves reading skills, concentration ability, and teaches young people the power and beauty of language. Campers rehearse their own work for a performance of scenes, swordfights, and a shortened version of the Festival’s summer Shakespeare play, on the Festival stage in Southmoreland Park at the Plaza.
