The YWCA of Alton recognizes the importance of exposing the younger generations to the arts and how it helps culminate teamwork, discipline, creativity, social skills, and active learning. This camp is dedicated to teaching skills that can be used later in life. Whether it be learning how to express one’s creativity or giving voice to one’s ideas, the YWCA of Alton believes in helping foster the social skills next generation.
Campers will be participating in improv games, voice lessons, audition etiquette, acting and dance tips. The camp runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and campers will need to bring their own lunch. There will be a rehearsal that Saturday, July 15 followed by a performance by the Improv Troupe. The performance will be free admission but donations are excepted.
Through the YWCA’s activities for kids, area youth are cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement. Contact the YWCA of Alton for more information or to register for the Summer Theater Camp
