Yes, we showcased almost 30 summer camps at our fun-filled Summer Fling Picnic at the end of May, but we have also learned from our readers that they want more options for camps related to the arts! So, here are two places to consider if your kids are interested in the performing arts this summer.

The Mamonahi Summer Camp, organized by the Mamonahi Theatre Company, combines theater, art, and dance into a two-week-long experience. Mamonahi believes that drama is one of the arts most closely related to human life and that the stage is the best place for children to release their imagination, get close to art and beauty, and learn to cooperate with one another. From the moment they step into the Mamonahi summer camp space, campers are in a safe, creative environment where they are free to express themselves. Learning takes place through performance-related games and activities in an immersive English environment with Chinese-language assistance. Music and dance are also key components in this camp, and children are encouraged to develop their body language and master their physical expression.

Ages: 6 - 10
Summary: Guided by three dedicated educators with expertise in each field, campers will spend their time exploring theater, art and dance, while learning and playing in an immersive English environment.
