What Drama
Education
One of kids’ favorite
activities at summer day
camp, drama classes
offer loads of benefits to
kids of all ages.
From boosting self-confidence
to learning to work
cooperatively and improving
social skills, theatrical
education is a fun-filled way
to learn and grow.
Kids at day camp, after-school
programs and community
theaters make new friends,
develop new skills and have a
great deal of fun!
SUPER SOCIAL BOOST
For shy kids in particular, being a
part of a structured social
environment like acting class can be
a huge boost for social skills and an
excellent way to make friends.
Youngsters who tend to hang back
in a more free-wheeling
atmosphere fare much better
when they’re part of an activity or
project where they have an
assigned role.
In play production, each actor,
stage hand, writer or prop person
has his own specific role, making
a cohesive and comfortably social
group of kids working toward a
common goal.
An activity like summer day camp
acting class might just be the key
to getting your quiet, retiring
youngster to break out of her shell
in a big, happy way.
LOADS OF FUN AND SO MUCH MORE
Being a part of a play is an awesome experience for
kids, but while they’re having a blast hamming it up
on stage they’re also:
boosting future academic performance
honing public speaking skills
gaining experience with critical thinking
Once your child gets that
coveted role, they need to:
start studying scenes
learning lines
figuring out more complicated
skills like evaluating their
character’s motivation
Additionally, many theater schools and children’s
acting workshops present timeless classics like
Peter Pan or Tom Sawyer, giving kids a priceless
introduction to classic children’s literature.
NOT JUST FOR THE LIFE OF THE PARTY
We tend to think of kids who are into acting as outgoing and attention-seeking, but even shy youngsters can benefit from treading the boards.
Kids who start out wanting to hang back as part of the chorus
or a face in the back of the crowd may find themselves suddenly
bitten by the acting bug and hungering for that break-out role.
It’s a great opportunity for personal growth.
Even if they never become comfortable on stage front and center,
many kids love being a part of the creative crowd by learning to
work stage lights, build scenery or manage costumes and props.
Some camps, after-school programs and drama schools also
allow kids to write dialogue and stage directions, giving valuable
experience in all aspects of theatrical production.
LEARNING TO DEAL
WITH ADVERSITY
Even if your child is a natural-born ham,
he won’t necessarily win the plum role in
the school play.
Occasional disappointment is inevitable,
and it’s important for kids to learn how to
deal constructively with the inevitable
bumps in the road.
Encourage your youngster to ask for
constructive and specific pointers from
teachers and directors on how to
perform better.
Learning to accept constructive
criticism can help in all areas of a kid’s
life, from school to social situations
and athletic teams.
Youngsters who can work on their
weaknesses in any area can dramatically
increase their potential for success in so
many endeavors.
Let your kids enjoy the experience of drama
classes at Maplewood Summer Day Camp.
Experienced staff will keep your child both safe
and busy with arts and crafts, games, water
sports, gymnastics and more.
