Come spend the summer with us and bring your imagination to life!

The Center for Puppetry Arts Puppet Camp values curiosity, creativity, and imagination. We invite your young artist, performer, doodler, singer, engineer, computer designer, and everyone in between to embark on a week (or two!) of creative confidence-building. At Puppet Camp, we will embark on an adventure in a program completely unique to Atlanta’s Center for Puppetry Arts. There will be puppet parties, parades, shows, and showcases. Camps run from June 8-July 31.

Grades K-1 Camp
Play camp focuses on creating a solid base for creativity and imaginative play. Campers will be encouraged to create, play, and engage in puppetry as an art form. (All young actors must be 5 years old before the start date of their camp, even if they are starting kindergarten the next school year.)

Grades 2-3 Camp
In this group of older campers, we are able to move through puppet creation and decor at a faster speed, so this camp focuses on storytelling and art. Aiding campers to embrace their own unique style, and of course, puppet partying!

Grades 4-5 Camp
This camp will focus on the arts around puppetry. Students will learn simple stitching, how to draw a pattern, how to create with papier-mache, and how to make their own puppets.

Middle School Camp
This camp will focus on middle grades and their unique set of skills and voices. Campers will collaborate with educators, facilitators, and junior counselors* to create a short story of their own and perform on Friday afternoon at 2:00 pm, with dismissal following the performance.

High School Intensive
This 2-week-long intensive will focus on collaboration, creation, and performance. This special intensive two-week camp will be performed on the second Friday at 2 p.m., with dismissal following the performance. There will be more time to create, and therefore more time to rehearse and perform a more polished performance.
