SUMMER DETAILS

Newsletters went out yesterday (not subscribed?  enter your email address in the box at the right!  Unless noted, classes are held at The Thought Lot Contemporary Arts Center, 37 E Garfield, Shippensburg, and the session fee includes all materials.  All ages are welcome (preschoolers may attend with a caregiver), but some sessions are designed especially for children, and the evening classes require teen or adult-level concerted effort.

All sessions of Springfield Camp (peek at photos and descriptions of previous camps all over our 2012 summer blog), a day camp dedicated to friendship, learning, and making on 100 acres of our beautiful Pennsylvania woodland, take place at 600 Big Spring Road, Newville, a scenic 15-minute drive from both Shippensburg and Carlisle.  Interest (and early registration) is high, so we require payment to reserve your spot for Springfield Camp.

***EDIT:  There has been a date/time adjustment for the first week of Springfield camp.  We had to push our "week" to a Wednesday start because of the extra days added to the school calendar.  We originally planned to shift the usual Tuesday-Friday to a Wednesday-Saturday schedule, but Saturday attendance was a problem for so many of our registrants that we decided instead to add the last day hours to the first two days (Friday we will have a performance for families at the end of camp already, so we didn't add hours to that day).***

Watch our Facebook page for news about sparks, a community creative gathering for families, held at The Thought Lot each Thursday afternoon this summer.

More details about each workshop will show up here as they get closer, but we are always happy to field  questions as well:  thewondercollective@gmail.com
