Puppet Camp for Kids and Teens

Come and create your own puppet from scratch!

What better way to spend the summer holidays than to join the puppet making camp and create your own Avenue Q style foam puppet? During the camp you will follow easy instructions to build your own puppet from scratch. You get to design and customise your puppet anyway you wish. Learn how to go from 2 dimensional design to a complete puppet, hand making every part. With the help from the teachers everyone is able to get a full puppet finished from the foam skeleton to the last hair on their head. 

During the week long camp half of each day is dedicated to puppet making and the other half for puppeteering. In the puppeteering class the group learn the basics of puppeteering by following fun theatre exercises. During the week we will also write and practice a puppet show to be performed for all the parents and friends at the end of the week to show off the new skills and puppets. 

All materials and tools are included. No sewing skills needed, some DIY spirit and ability to work with hot glue will help but no matter the skill level everyone is welcome to join!
