Empower Dance Camp

Join Hayley Shannon and Amy Mcaskill for a memorable week of movement and making. This is dance, inspired by plants — a unique camp combining two of our favorite topics. Each day campers will learn about a plant that grows locally in our archipelago to bring its amazing properties to life through creative movement. Campers will learn dance concepts such as size, speed and energy to give them tools for creative expression and empowerment! Together we will choreograph a dance that expresses what the campers find most exciting about the medicinal plants we learn about such as calendula, rose, and lavender. Campers will also make plant inspired crafts including salves and flower mandalas! Time for unstructured free play as well as afternoon down time in the shade of Salmonberry’s mature grove of trees will provide a respite from the summer sun.

Camp will take place entirely outdoors at Salmonberry School. Further camp specifics will be shared with participants prior to camp.

Masks are required as is adherence to all standard Covid protocols of masks, distancing, and frequent hand washing.

When: Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM, July 19-23 for ages 9-12.

Camp cost is $300
