"For over seventeen years Shakespeare in Action has been bringing the Bard Alive for young people in theatres, community centres and classrooms through our experiential approach and innovative programming. One of the highlights of our year is the Shakespeare for Kidz Summer Camp. This program designed for the youngest possible learners and has expanded rapidly over the past four years from one to seven strategic locations. This summer camps will be held at the following locations: Etobicoke/Bloor West Village, the Beaches, and North York/Leaside, from July 5-16, the downtown Annex, and Richmond Hill/Thornhill from July 19-30, BSS The Erin Gilmour Summer Arts Workshops from August 3-13 and Toronto Montessori Summer camp in Bolton, from August 9-20. The current expansion of our program will allow kids from more of greater Toronto’s diverse neighborhoods to take advantage of this unique experience in personal creativity" (5 May 2004 qtd. from http://www.modworld.com/sia/shakespeare4kids.html). |
