AGES 4 – 6
It’s never too early to enter the world of the imagination! Millibo’s theatre camps for young children invite play and exploration through multi-sensory experiences encouraging children to grow their expressive vocabulary through drama, music, dance and visual arts. Each week they’ll have fun exploring different themes and related stories with their peers and our incredible teaching staff.
A typical camp for ages 4 to K begins with songs and team building games which lead into drama activities and an interactive story time. Every day includes a mid-morning snack-break and free-play time in the Millibo garden. The day concludes with a theme related visual art project and a closing activity.
