Puppetry Camp with SHCA
Foundry Hall and the South Haven Center for the Arts held a week long puppet camp this summer as part of the Kids’ Collaborative.
Campers made finger puppets, shadow puppets, paper fish puppets and marionettes and made up stories for all of them. They worked together in groups and learned a lot about design, storyboards and working with different materials. It was a creative blast!
Poetry & Songwriting Camp
Foundry Hall led a poetry and songwriting camp at the historic South Haven Scott Club. Campers delved into books of poetry, wrote some original poetry, shared them aloud using a microphone and then put some of them to music. The week involved a lot of instrument playing as well, including the Everett grand piano. It was a very fun week!
