Why take a DreamWrights Camp?
* Our classes have been voted amongst the top drama and theatre classes in 2008 by the readers of the Central Penn Parent publication.
* Our theatre program consists of games and training designed to enhance students’ critical thinking skills and ability to work with others. The Arts also teach responsibility, the value of sustained effort to achieve excellence, and the concrete rewards of hard work. Our classes work on creating relationships, building self esteem, and improving self confidence.
* The importance and value of a strong arts education is now firmly grounded in theory and research. Studies prove that the arts engender enthusiasm and motivation for learning.
* From performance focused classes to balloon twisting and even puppetry, we offer a wide range of classes to allow students with many different interests to be involved in some way with the creative arts.
* DreamWrights classes are fun!
