Did you know that Theatre Wakefield offers day camp programs?

Join us this August for “Enchanted Forests” Theatre Camp for children ages 8-13.

🎬Let your child’s creativity take root in a week-long theatre adventure set deep within an Enchanted Forest.

🧚🏽Campers become storytellers, actors, and world‑builders as they dream up magical creatures, mysterious landscapes, and the legends that bring their forest to life.

🎭Through acting games, movement, collaborative writing, and hands‑on design, they work together to create an original play inspired by their own imaginations.

🌲Camps take place at Centre Wakefield LaPeche. The language of instruction is English, but the instructor will clarify points in French.
