Advice To The Players' two-week camps
Advice To The Players' two-week camps are going ONLINE this year. These camps are theatre experiences in which teaching artists immerse youth (ages 5-17) in the art and craft of acting, and the terms and techniques used to create Shakespeare’s plays. These experiences and skills include theatre games, clown skills, movement, and dance—all of which culminates into a rousing performance of Shakespeare’s work at the end of camp, adapted by our teaching artists and campers. Sign up for camp today! Sign-ups encouraged by July 6 so we have time to prepare and mail materials to all campers. Both electronic and physical materials will be emailed/mailed to each individual camper. We are thrilled to have new and returning teaching artists joining us this year! For information about our camps and to register, visit  www.advicetotheplayers.org/camps

5 Days of Sandwich Camp – 2020
The 5 Days of Sandwich Camp is now open for registration for summer 2020!  The 5 Days of Sandwich is a day camp sponsored by the Sandwich Conservation Commission and is open to all year-round and seasonal Sandwich residents ages 7-13+.
The 5 Days camp runs Monday – Friday from 9am-3pm*.  Each session is unique and explores the many natural and historic wonders of Sandwich.  The 5 Days camp has been a tradition in the Sandwich community for more than thirty years. The theme for camp this year will be “Think globally, act locally” and will highlight the interconnectedness of ecosystems, our planet and society.  Through experience and activities we will explore the impact that small decisions have on the big picture.

As usual, each day of camp will consist of a hike/nature walk, swimming and a lesson or craft.  Campers will have the opportunity to discover many of Sandwich’s hidden gems. This popular camp is limited to 12 campers per session and campers are registered on a first-come, first-served basis.  Some activities are weather-dependent and may need to be altered at short notice.
 Schedule
Week 1:  July 6-10                  Ages 7-9
Week 2:  July 13-17                Ages 8-11

 PLEASE NOTE:  Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic we are planning to offer the 5 Days program in good faith, with every hope that things will be getting back to normal by July.  Obviously, this is uncertain and if social distancing guidelines are still the norm, the 5 Days camp will be cancelled for the safety of our campers and the wider community. Registration fee for each session is $40.00.  We will collect this fee once we know that camp is a go.  Scholarship funds are available.
