Spiral Q Puppet Theater and the Arts League have put together an exciting program in
which students will explore parade arts inspired by the animal kingdom.
A creative force in the city of Philadelphia, Spiral Q is known for its
colorful community-focused parades that feature larger-than-life
puppets. Campers will have opportunities to make musical instruments
from found objects, parade flags, and giant puppets.
The camp will take place at the Arts League, 4226 Spruce St. in West
Philadelphia. Children will also learn from Philadelphia Zoo educator
Jack Kohler, whose regular visits will include live animal
demonstrations. Trips to the Zoo and the swimming pool will also be a
part of the program. The summer will culminate in a camp parade
featuring campers' zany zoological creations from all three sessions.
We invite you to enroll your children in one or more of our three
sessions. The camp will run from 9 am to 3:30 pm each weekday; extended
hours are available in the morning and afternoon for an additional fee.
Lunch is also available at no cost. A schedule for the sessions,
including themes and activities, is attached. Full tuition is $295
weekly; however, our goal is to include the widest possible pool of
campers. To that end Spiral Q and the Arts League are working to secure
resources for a limited number of need-based scholarships which will be
provided on a first come first serve basis. Download and
print an enrollment brochure.
If you have any questions about Parade Camp: an Animal Adventure, please
don't hesitate to contact the UCAL Office.
We look forward to seeing you and your children
this summer!
