Alley Play Makers camps are back in full swing at Alley Theatre!
We are thrilled to offer an experience that is sure to bring creative joy, in-person cheers, and fast friends to your kids. Each camp session explores big ideas and questions connected to award-winning children’s books through three class rotations: acting/storytelling, movement, and makerspace. Alley Play Makers culminates in a joyous, celebratory performance that demonstrates our campers’ learning for parents and friends.

Camper Forms:
In order to help us compile all of the campers’ information, we ask that you complete your camper forms as soon as possible. Fill out one for EACH camper and make sure to fill out all sections: Camper Information & Emergency Contacts, Medical Information, Participation Agreement, Consent & Release, and Media Release.
Day 1:
Check In will be from 8:30am-9:00am. (Campers registered for before-care may arrive at 7:45am.) A parent or guardian will need to accompany their camper on the first day so that we can ensure that we have all forms of emergency information. After the first day, you can drop off your camper in the normal pick up and drop off locations. Once the campers are signed in, they will then be escorted to the warm-up room where their Play Makers journey will begin! At the end of the first day, please follow the standard pick-up procedure outlined in your Parent Handbook.
