Sheldon Calvary Camp in an outdoor recreational program on the shore of Lake Erie. Campers, between the ages of 8-16, are allowed to choose 4 electives that they attend each day for a week. The Performing Arts Program/Elective area was created to give children of all ages a taste of music, dance, and theatre. The goal of the Performing Arts program is to create a spark for children to possibly pursue a new hobby in the arts. 

​

During the 2021-2022 school year, I designed, created, and presented this new program to the directors of the camp. I brainstormed games and ideas for the camp that would give the campers a new window to the arts, in a "campy" style. Once it was approved, I worked with the Performing Arts staff to solidify the plans for the syllabus, and put my idea into action. The new program remained successful throughout the summer of 2022.
