Sign up now for CROW’s 2021 Summer Camps
Now is the time for fami-
lies to sign up their kids for
CROW’s (Children’s Reper-
tory of Oregon Workshops)
exciting 2021 Summer
Camp sessions.
CROW’s first one-week
camp is entitled “Game-A-
Palooza” and will take place
July 12 to 16 from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m. This will be a camp
for ages 7 to 10. The sec-
ond one-week camp is also
called “Game-A-Palooza”
and will take place July 19
to 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
This camp is for ages 11+.
Both sessions will be
taught by CROW Artistic
Director Melanie Heard,
and the cost is $125, which
includes a T-shirt.
According to Heard, “We
are focusing on F-U-N!
Through a combination of
socially distanced improv
and traditional-style camp
games, hands-on crafts, and
mini discussions on the ex-
citing world of theatre arts,
students will be immersed
in a plethora of creativity
and laughter.”
Also offered is CROW’s
Invitation or Audition Only-
Advanced Acting Program,
which will be Aug. 2 to 13.
The cost for this two-week
camp is $250, and includes
a T-shirt.
“This year’s Advanced
Acting program will focus
on the historical and cultur-
al significance of traveling
performers: troubadours,
minstrels, carnivals, circus-
es, street artists and more,”
Heard said. “During camp,
students will work to create
an outdoor show that will
be performed at various
safe locations in Florence
for small, socially distanced
audiences. Character de-
velopment, comic timing,
physicality and other vital
performance skills will be
