June 8th - June 26th
SummerTime at Fayerweather is a creative arts program for children ages 5 through 14.
The program runs from June 8th through to 26th. SummerTime is designed to provide
children with time to explore and learn in a creative, supportive and fun atmosphere.
Areas of study or "workshops" as they are called, include studio arts, music, drama,
dance, sports and film (for older students.)
SummerTime Arts Program - entering grades K-5th
In the Arts Program workshops are taught by professionals in their field and provide
opportunities for discovery and skill development with unique materials and themes.
Each week children enjoy new ways to express themselves through dance, theater,
visual arts and play.
Past workshops have included:
- Studio Art - Costume design, paper making
- Drama – Puppet shows, writing & performing plays
- Music & Dance - Drumming circles, learning & performing African and Caribbean dances
and songs
SummerTime Film Festival - entering grades 5-8
Our film program encourages collaboration and teamwork while providing
kids with the opportunity to work with video technology. While much
time is dedicated to film making, older students also participate in other SummerTime
activities throughout the day. Campers also try their hand at:
- Developing screenplays
- Computerized editing
- Building and designing props and costumes
Open Workshop is an essential SummerTime element. Each day after
lunch, kids explore a workshop of their choice - choices that change daily. This
is a time for kids across age levels to connect and collaborate. It can also be
a time for quiet, restful activities.
Past workshops have included:
- Baking cookies, caking crepes or ice cream
- Rockwall climbing and flag football
- Jewelry making, tie-dying and playing board games
