Dance class with Lisa will feature warm up games and exercises that explore shape, space, rhythm, locomotor movement,  and a variety of movement themes. Lisa will include theater games and scene building during dance time. The day will end with art wrap up time, group clean up,  and ending games.

We have space for a minimum of 6 or maximum of 14  students each day. You may sign up for individual days or a combination of days. Art Camp staff and students will follow the latest CDC guidelines for schools and after - school programs.  The Portland New Church is a one room space with excellent ventilation and a large side yard that we will use each day. St. Ansgar is a large space where we set up art class in the entryway and hold dance/theater/games in the sanctuary and/or downstairs fellowship hall. There is excellent ventilation and space in both buildings.
WHAT TO BRING: water bottle, comfortable clothing and shoes appropriate for playing and getting dirty.  Campers may want to bring a snack however,  Art Camp will provide an afternoon snack choice for all students on all days.
Drop off and Pick up:

Drop - off and Pick - up at Portland New Church will be in front of the building. Pick - up time is 5:00 - 5:30pm.Drop - off and Pick - up at St. Ansgar will be at the back of the building. There is a small parking lot/driveway just before the church on Woodford Street. The back door opens onto that small lot.

Students who attend schools who are dismissing at 3:30pm may still attend and we will adjust fees to reflect a shortened daily schedule.
