Summer Camp Afternoon Program Note: We have increased interest in an afternoon program for the morning summer camps. We will be designing a relaxed afternoon with lunch, restful activities, art projects, and games. The cost for extending the program to 3:00 will be an additional $50. Campers will need to bring a bag lunch. As we are shaping this afternoon program and the staffing around the age groups, we encourage interested families to contact Kathy Watko, bookkeeper@merriconeag.org, as soon as possible.

Circus Arts Camp is a fun-filled, week-long workshop led by John Saccone and other guest artists. Our campers will learn and practice the art of juggling, clowning, mime, pyramids, tightrope walking, character study and performance techniques.

John Saccone has been teaching Movement Education at the Merriconeag Waldorf School for the past fifteen years. He toured internationally with Tony Montanaro and the Celebration Theater Ensemble. He is a guest artist with the Portland Ballet Company and has performed for twenty one years in their Nutcracker. He is certified in Bothmer gymnastics and is a Spacial Dynamics trainer under Jaimen McMillan. John performs in the duo Reifer & Saccone. (www.reiferandsaccone.com)
