One Week or Two?
One of the most common questions we hear is: “Should my daughter come for one week or two?” The good news is both options are packed with fun, learning, and new friends! Below we’ll walk through what’s the same, what’s different, and how to decide which is the best fit for your camper.
What Every Camper Experiences
Both sessions are intentionally designed to be full camp experiences, beginning with an opening campfire to establish our community, and ending with a closing campfire to reflect on and honor our experiences together and to say goodbye.
Both session options also include:
A pool party
Opportunity for all campers to go tubing
Fun and exciting evening programs
A cook-out dinner
Top-tier instruction in dance, theater and visual arts
The Extra Benefits of Two Weeks
While the one-week session captures all the magic of camp – friendship, new experience and learning – the two-week session allows campers to dive deeper and enjoy even more opportunities.
Some of those additional opportunities include:
End-of-session showcases where dancers and actors get to perform for their fellow campers and artists get to highlight their work in a gallery
A break from typical camp life for special events, including a field trip day where campers are immersed in the rich local cultural scene
Our three-day all-camp Rainbow Games
What’s Different in Classes
Performing Arts Classes
Because our two-week campers are working toward an end-of-session showcase, these classes are spent working on a mix of technique-building and rehearsing for the showcase, including learning choreography, lines or music.
For our one-week campers, classes are more like a “technique week,” a time to focus on building skills.
Visual Arts Classes
In visual arts, some projects take longer to bring to life, so in the one-week session, we carefully select projects campers can complete in just five days. In the two-week session, the extra time allows for campers to develop more technical skills while working on multi-part or more advanced projects.
How to Choose the Best Fit
Just remember, both session options are meaningful and memorable! There’s no wrong choice. Every child is different, and we’re happy to talk with you about your camper’s interests, personality, and readiness to help you choose the right fit, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re in need of additional guidance.
