CAMPS FOR Grades 3 to 5

June 7 – 11 – STAR WARS ACADEMY

Mon to Fri / 9:15am to 3:15pm / $275 / June 7 – 11

We’ve dedicated the entire week to out-of-this-world explorations in the Star Wars universe. Spend your week learning the ways of Jedi and fulfill your destiny as you master the skills of “The Force”. Discover the untold stories of lost galaxies, create your own spaceship, map your own planet and uncover the stage techniques of the light saber.

June 14-18 – IMAGINATION ENGINEERS: PUPPETS

Grades 1 to 5 ~ Mon to Fri / 12:30 to 3pm/ $125 / June 14 to 18

This job is too dangerous for regular live actors and so “Send in the Puppets!” We will create and build fantastic characters and bring them to life using shadows, sticks, masks, and fabric. Our mission is to “engineer” and learn to manipulate one giant monster puppet – the Muppets should be so lucky

June 21 – 25 – THE PHARAOH’S SECRET

Grades 3 to 5 ~ Mon to Fri / 1:00 to 4pm / $150

Unlock the hidden secrets of the Pharoahs! Build pyramids, dress like mummies, walk like an Egyptian, create edible sand, fashion an animal mask for the After World and write in Hieroglyphics! Painting, drawing and mixed media artwork will be created to decorate our ancient Sarcophagus but beware of the Mummy’s Curse.

June 21 – 25 -IMAGINATION ENGINEERS: RECYCLED CORAL REEF

Grades 1 to 5 ~ Mon to Fri / 12:30 to 3pm/ $125

The ocean is coming to the mountains and we need your imagination and building skills to make the most incredible coral reef completely out of recycled materials. Glow in the dark fish, scavenging sharks, fearless divers, and sunken treasures are all part of this fascinating seascape and you don’t even have to get wet. Duct tape and cardboard make everything possible.

July 5 – 9 – HOGWARTS

Grades 3 to 5 ~ Mon to Fri / 9:15am to 3:15pm / $275

Hogwarts’ most esteemed professors require your assistance!  Enter Millibo’s secret Floo network and be transported to the Wizarding World.  You’ll enjoy a fun-filled week unraveling the hidden mysteries of Hogwarts past and future. We’ll brew up powerful potions, solve impossible riddles, encounter incredible creatures, and master techniques to defend us from the monsters in the shadows.  All professors, prefects, and magical creatures have been vetted.  Note:  Mugggles reading this will have their memories wiped immediately.


 

July 12 – 23 MAKE A CIRCUS / Two weeks 

Grades 4 – 8 ~ Mon to Fri / 1:00 to 4pm / $275 (two weeks)

Explore the skills you need to be a circus star – Acrobatics, Juggling, Aerial Silks, Teeter Board, Rolla Bolla, Diabolo, Tight Rope, Unicycling, Clowning, and more! Camp is directed by circus professionals who have the experience and training to teach all of the skills and techniques required to safely perform each of the activities. Campers get hands-on experience with all apparatus and present their skills in a final class presentation on Friday, July 23 @ 3:30

 

 

July 19 – 23 – YES, SUPERHEROES DO SING AND DANCE

Grades 3 to 5 ~ Mon to Fri / 9:15 to 12:15 / $150

Sure, anybody can put on a costume and mask and fly through the air on a spider web but can they sing about it or dance a little jig while saving the world. Your answer could be yes as we create an original musical starring our favorite cast of Marvel characters. Extra bonus: Villians sing and dance too.

July 26 – TIME MACHINE

Grades 3 to 5 ~ Mon to Fri / 9:15 to 12:15 / $150

Create a time machine that takes you to a different play at a different time in history every day. How would you create a Neanderthal Comedy, a Medieval Adventure, a Western Melodrama, a 1930’s Detective Stories, or a Science Fiction Cliff Hanger?  Pack your bags of Imagination for this time-traveling trip.

MILLIBO'S TEACHING APPROACH

At the Millibo Art Theatre, we foster learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships, a creative and meaningful curriculum and supportive, professional instruction that ignites imaginations, flexes problem-solving abilities, grows language and physical dexterity, and encourages children to innovate, create and dream!

Whether your child’s school was fully remote or hybrid this semester, chances are they spent extensive amounts of time in front of a screen. If, like many parents, you are working from home, you may be relying more heavily on television and video games to keep your kids entertained. Let us help!

Creative play is critical for the physical, emotional, and mental health of children. For almost twenty years the Millibo has offered programming that inspires youth to grow as artists and innovators and we are poised to support your child’s learning and social health during these difficult times. Our experiences running summer camps and afterschool and weekend workshops this Fall, confirm our belief in the importance of creative engagements for kids, and our ability to provide safe environments where this can happen.

SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE

The safety and health of your child(ren) remains our priority, and as Coronavirus guidance continues to evolve, we will follow all guidelines and updates provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Colorado Department for Public Health and Environment for Child Care.Daily screening and temperature check of all students, staff and teachers

  • Required hand-sanitization upon arrival, before eating, and at regular intervals
  • Mandatory masks or face coverings
