Stories, Pretend, and Puppets
Step Inside a Story
Four magical mornings of pretend play, fairy tales, puppet-making, and imaginative fun. Camp takes place at The Wandering Lantern and across the street at Wagar Park, where the playground and field become a second classroom full of room to play, create, and explore.
Led by Melissa Vincel and Fé Beatty, this small-group camp is designed to be uplifting, structured, and full of creativity. Each child will head home with a handmade "friend" and a story to share from the day.
