CAMP CREATE (Ages 8 - 12)

Get messy at this colorful camp that focuses on crazy ways of creating art—like launching paint balloons, sculpting with feet, and more. Art is about thinking outside the box and this camp will explore ways to do that. Campers will draw, paint, sculpt, and create magical messes! Pieces will develop through the use of tracing the drawing with a glue gun, then experimenting with different acrylic pour techniques to fill in the negative spaces between glue lines. Come in old clothes and bring a towel too. 

Funday Friday: Water Balloon Tye Dye Battle & Color Run

This camp will combine a diverse number of mediums and techniques to complete artwork through a unique process.

Campers will create multimedia art and crafts like never before! Paint a fairy with mulberries? Sculpt a dinosaur with mud? Campers will get to hunt for and build with materials they find in nature. Use sand and seashells to make a creature. They will repurpose paintings, prints, and other sculptures into a new personalized piece of art that represents them. Campers will learn a variety of drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media skills to recreate a once forgotten piece of art into a new treasure they will be proud to display.

TWO PERFORMANCES: Saturday, July 19, 2024, at 2:00 and 7:00 PM, at WESTMONT HILLTOP HIGH SCHOOL!

Log Art Theatre Academy's popular musical theatre camp returns! Join us for a week of all things musical theatre in 2024 to produce ONCE ON THIS ISLAND JR at Westmont Hilltop High School!

Adapted from the celebrated Broadway musical, this rousing Calypso-flavored tale follows one small girl who finds love in a world of prejudice.

With its poignant story and catchy Caribbean-flavored score, Once on This Island JR. is a highly original theatrical adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s popular fairy tale, The Little Mermaid, and the Tony-nominated Broadway musical by the legendary writing team, Ahrens and Flaherty.

Through almost non-stop song and dance, this full-hearted musical tells the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of her island. When Daniel is returned to his people, the fantastical gods who rule the island, guide Ti Moune on a quest that will test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred and even death.

Equally effective regardless of your cast size, Once on This Island JR. features minimal, though colorful, sets and costumes that will capture your audiences’ imaginations. Creative movement is also part of the show's style, calling upon performers to portray trees, wild animals and even a fierce rainstorm.
