ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
CaravanKids workshops are two weeks bursting with creativity, exploration, and adventure. Each day, we go to a new country, meeting with different teachers from around the world and exploring the majestic nature of Stone Mountain Farm. Every year, we meet a fairy!
In the morning, students take three dance classes: Creative Movement, which will have them turning into animals, playing dance games, and exploring their full range of movement and boundless creative expression. World Dance & Music, in which students learn dances and songs from all around the world. Folk songs & stories, in which they learn folktales from different countries.
In the afternoon, we explore and take our dancing out into nature. At the beginning of the workshop, each CaravanKid receives a customized Mystery Package with treasures and trinkets to help us on our afternoon adventures!

NOTES ABOUT THE LIVE WORKSHOP:
All SummerDance workshop are 100% outdoors. There is NO ACCESS to any indoor facilities this year. Students will dance under a covered tent, with access to an outdoor sink and an outhouse. There are also lots of bugs because we are in nature!
Our staff will make sure that students have times to cool off (sprinkler + kiddie pool) and we will shelter under the tent in the event of rain. If the forecast calls for severe thunderstorms, we may have to move classes to remote/virtual.
If your child is uncomfortable in the heat/outdoors, please carefully consider how they will attend this workshop.
