Take Flight Summer Camp 2021 Sessions:

August 2 - 13, 2021 from 10:30 am - 2 pm

Session 1: The Witches by Roald Dahl (ages 8 - 14)

Teaching artist: Dana Murphy

A young boy learns from his grandmother that witches are indeed real, and they don't like children! In fact, they really don't like children. Witches despise, loathe and detest children! Unfortunately for the rest of the world, it's hard to tell a witch from a non-witch, because they're really good at disguising themselves. So this brave young boy and his grandmother go on an epic adventure to battle the witches and save the children of the world. Note: While some of this material can be scary, content will be adjusted to the ages of the camp.

August 16 - 27, 2021 from 10:30 am - 2 pm

Session 2: James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl (ages 8 - 14)

Teaching artist: Bella Coehlo

Orphaned and friendless, James Henry Trotter lives with his two horrid aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life there is miserable, until James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree and very strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. Inside, James meets a crew of oversized friends - Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!
