"My daughter (age 7) is still speaking of
Shakespeare Camp and from time to time recites lines from Shakespeare
and plays some of the acting exercises you taught her."
"The show came out beautiful. The teachers
were so supportive and the children were aware of that support as
it gave them great confidence in their performance."
"My children didn't know what to expect but
on the first day they came home excited. By the end of the first week
my son told me he's having the most fun he's ever had in his life!"
"This was my son's third year at Shakespeare Camp
and he had a blast! He keeps wanting to go back each year."

About Bay Area
Shakespeare Camps
The Shakespeare camps
began with a single session of 30 campers in the summer of 1993
under the title of Midsummer Shakespeare Camp. At that time, the
Shakespeare Festival saw a real need to offer young students the
opportunity to study Shakespeare in a fun, supportive atmosphere
and teach them the necessary skills to perform his work. The Bay
Area Shakespeare Camps now serve over 800 young people, ages 4
to 18, throughout the Bay Area, with sessions in San Francisco,
Berkeley, Oakland, Pleasanton, Fremont, Pacifica,
Burlingame, Palo Alto, Cupertino, Los Altos, San Jose, and other locations.
Festival donors ensure that camp fees are kept
at a price that is affordable for the most participants and not
dictated strictly by "what the market will bear." Camp fees are well under
the cost of most other summer camps and well below the price of
normal childcare. Your support today will help ensure that camp
fees remain low and supports our mission to ensure that Shakespeare
is truly accessible to all by removing barriers to cultural participation.
Become a member of the San
Francisco Shakespeare Festival and support the Bay Area Shakespeare
Camps today!
