Mini-Spots Teacher and
Other Staff:
The Mini-Spots have one teacher who stays with them all morning while the other staff rotate through.Other full-time staff at camp will be versed in many areas of the performing arts, and have years of experience with kids in elementary and middle school.
In addition, we will be bringing in guest artists from the Bozeman and surrounding communities who will bring specialty workshops to camp. These artists gave campers an in-depth look at some of the specialized areas in the performing arts, as well a chance for campers to experiment creatively in these arenas.
Teen
Interns:
The teen interns, fondly referred to as "Gobos," are a vital part of
camp. These interns have been trained in CPR, First Aid, child psychology,
emergency procedures, and the theatrical arts. Many of them are teen
actors from our Teen Theatre productions. They are superb actors and
are great with kids. They will assist in teaching and directing the
campers as well as bringing energy and fun to the daily camp atmosphere.
