Even though the St. Croix Falls Creativity Camp has reached its limit, there is still room for youth ages 5 to 12 at Summer Creativity Camp in two Polk County (Luck & Clear Lake) and two Burnett County (Danbury & Grantsburg) locations. Creativity Camp is a week long, day camp experience that immerses youth in arts exploration with environmental themes.

“Our philosophy is focused on building arts skills while encouraging individual creative growth,” says Amy Klein, Education Director at St. Croix Festival Theatre. “Teaching artists in the disciplines of performing, visual and literary art work together around a single theme and campers are invited into the process of making art rather than a product-based approach.”

With funding support from the Hugh J. Andersen Foundation, the Xcel Energy Foundation, Polk-Burnett Project Round Up, and WalMart, Creativity Camp prices are kept affordable at $85.00 per child per week of camp.

Festival Theatre has coordinated their 2008 camps in partnership several host sites and the openings remain at four sites: West Denmark Hall, Luck, WI (July 21-25); Forts Folle Avoine, Danbury, WI (July 28-Aug 1); Clear Lake Community Center (August 11-15); and Grantsburg Elementary School (August 18-22). Participating teaching artists include Ryan Nelson and Lisa Bark from the cast of “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown,” Joshua Busick from the casts of “Ama & the White Crane” and “Arsenic & Old Lace,” and Amy Klein, Gloria Adrian, and Craig Knutson from the Festival Arts program.
