Whether they're taking on the role of a brave lion, a clever robot, or a curious wizard, they’ll be crafting their own adventures in a world of make-believe.
Creative Root's Summer camps at DePaul's Lincoln Park Campus are the ultimate blend of fun, theatre, and personal growth.
Whether they're taking on the role of a brave lion, a clever robot, or a curious wizard, they’ll be crafting their own adventures in a world of make-believe. Through acting, storytelling, and teamwork, your child will learn all about theatre—from script writing to acting—while making lifelong memories with new friends. Each two-week session culminates in an original performance for families and friends.
During the first week of camp, we lay the foundation for an unforgettable adventure! Campers will play theatre games, explore acting basics, and dive into scriptwriting with fun prompts that help them develop an original story. It’s all about building the ensemble, making new friends, and finding joy in the creative process!
In the second week, campers will bring their story to life! Through rehearsals and design work, they’ll discover how to shape their world through props, costumes, and staging. With guidance from our expert teaching artists, they'll have the chance to see their imagination take shape and prepare for the culminating performance presented for friends and family on the last day.
Get ready for a summer of imagination, self-expression, and unforgettable fun! At Creative Root, we can’t wait to help your child discover their own creative voice!
