Creative Drama CampOur drama camps are based upon the Creative Drama philosophy which is different than the philosophy of a Theater Camp. Most theater programs are designed with a performance as the focal point and students audition for parts early in the week then study their parts and work on the production preparation leading up to the performance. By contrast, Creative Drama is not performance based. The Brandywine Learning Center is proud to offer a drama camp whose focus is instead on teaching, encouraging, and cultivating each student’s acting skills such as voice projection, stage presence, improvisation, building confi dence in general and specifi cally when speaking in front of a group. That said, we do still include a performance at the end of the program because we use it as the vehicle through which the children can apply their skills. Plus it adds a tremendous amount of energy and anticipation to the week. For young and/or beginning actors and actresses, creative drama is a great avenue to take!

Pony Grooming & RidingThis unique 4-day program provides an exciting hands-on introduction to the wonderful world of equines in a fun-fi lled and supportive atmosphere. PonyShare uses camp-trained ponies and cobs, smaller and easier to handle than their larger equine counterparts. Small groups of 4-5 children are formed according to age and prior experience, if any. After reviewing safety rules, material previously covered and a learning subject matter, participants are assigned their size-related pony or cob and each small group works under the tutelage of a qualifi ed and motivated counselor. Some of the horsemanship matters covered may include: safety on and around horses, basic anatomy, equine senses and body language, grooming, the tack and harness, english and western styles, barn management and careers in the industry. Participants also get to ride or drive their charges for about 20 minutes during each session. This program enhances team work, self-esteem and camaraderie while helping develop a genuine appreciation and respect for the animals. Course materials are provided.
