Some scenes from one of our favourite places, the The Deanery Project. We had a blast at our Youth Outdoor Theatre Retreat creating an original performance inspired by the theme of ‘One Stormy Night on an Island.’ We were astounded by the hard work and creativity of our participants.

A huge thank you to our assistant facilitators, Reed and Jacob for all their help. Thank you also to our partner, the Adventure Earth Center who make this program possible.
