An extraordinary array of OPTIONS awaits you and your children at the JCC and MACC this summer. You can choose

HALF-DAY or FULL-DAY camps, or multiple-day sessions at the RANCH CAMP sleep-away camp in the Black Forest. With

the help of this guide, you can MIX AND MATCH recreational and cultural programs for a full summer of fun. We’ve got day

camps for kids from PRESCHOOL THROUGH GRADE 12, along with one-week TENNIS and SPORTS camps, ART and

THEATRE academies and ON-THE-ROAD ADVENTURES for middle schoolers.Whatever you choose, you’re sure to find the

perfect fit for your children’s INTERESTS and YOUR SCHEDULE at the JCC and MACC.

WELCOME TO SUMMER 2010!One of the best parts of summer at the JCC and MACC (Mizel Arts & Culture Center) is that we offer so many different camps for childrenfrom infancy through high school. The hard part can be navigating through all of the camp options and filling out all of the required formsand paperwork. That’s where Camp Central comes in. The goal of Camp Central is to make finding a camp at the JCC and MACC easy.We areyour “Camp Concierge.”At Camp Central, we can help you create an individualized, fun filled, adventure packed summer that is tailored to theinterests of your child.

This is going to be a summer like none other. In addition to a 12-week camp season including a four day pre-camp the week of Memorial Day,this year brings the single largest Jewish event in Denver’s history. Our JCC will be hosting the 2010 JCC Maccabi Games® from Aug. 1–6. Wewill have over 1500 teen athletes, more than 1000 volunteers and at least 600 host families. For us to be successful, we will need the entire com-munity to be involved. For more information, call (303) 316-6318 or visit www.jccdenvermaccabi.org.

While we are extremely excited to host the Games, they will pose some logistical challenges for our camps.While the actual athletic events willnot be taking place at the JCC, there will be athlete meals and hang time at the JCC. Additionally, some of our typical camp rooms will be usedfor JCC Maccabi functions, such as scorekeeping. While it may be a bit crowded during that week, we will still accommodate our campers. Weappreciate your patience and flexibility and hope that you and your family will find a way to take part in and enjoy the Games.

New this year:

• New weekly afternoon options for 4—5 year olds

• Pre-camp week June 1—4

• 12-week camp season

Education and participation in the arts is essential to the development of character, imagination and self-confidence. Currentresearch also indicates that education in the arts is linked to success in other academic fields. We seek to develop in young peo-ple the ability to exercise what is most human, unique, and individual about themselves. Through participation in our academies,your child will experience programs that offer an inspiring balance of education, fun, creativity, and the exuberance that comesfrom participating in the creative process.

Parents should note that this year the JCC campus will play host to the international JCC Maccabi Games- an athletic compe-tition for Jewish teens from around the world.

39 WOLF THEATRE ACADEMY SUMMER 2010

Please see the introduction to MACC on pages 24–25 for informationon registration, pricing, supervised lunch, special needs childrenand scholarships.

SUMMER 2010Mainstage Productions• The Wizard of Oz• Les Miserables• A Midsummer Night’s Dream

The Academy Is Different Than Camp (For Grades 3 & up)

The Wolf Theatre Academy’s summer experience should not be con-fused with a typical camp experience, which focuses on constantactivity and stimulation. At the youngest ages (grades PreK–2), ourclasses are similar to those in camps, where programs are conductedas structured play.However, at the older ages (grades 3 and up), we area serious training academy where the focus of our program is qualityperformance. While students are supervised at all times during acad-emy hours, all students in performance or production workshops willbe expected to work on their own at home and when not directlyworking with faculty. Also, students with leading roles will be asked tospend significant time studying at home. We encourage parents whoare looking for a more recreational camp experience to take this intoconsideration when making their summer choices.

Mainstage Production SessionsPatrons of our program should note that again this year our mainstageproductions rehearse in one session and perform in the next session.This is to accommodate those students whose schools let out duringthe first few weeks in June. This year all three productions begin thethird week of a session and perform in week two of the following ses-sion. This might be an issue if parents are trying tomatch schedules forother three week programs. Check dates carefully and please feel free tocall our staff for assistance if you have any questions.

Grade LevelsAll grade levels refer to the grade students will be entering in the fall of2010. Students in grades 3 and 6 generally have two options. They mayparticipate with younger students, which gives them greater responsi-bility and the possibility of larger roles in Dramatics PerformanceWorkshops, or they can choose to work with older students and facethe challenge of more mature work.

THEATRICAL PROFESSIONALS who are experienced in the art of theatre EDUCATION. At the younger ages, we

emphasize a POSITIVE, nurturing style of teaching, and our students grow through ENCOURAGEMENT in an environment

that supports their development as individuals and as artists. Although our teaching focus shifts for older groups to

QUALITY PERFORMANCE, we are proud that most students complete our programs with a sense of incredible accom-

plishment for a job well done. AGE-APPROPRIATE programming allows younger children to focus on FUN, creation and

fantasy, while older students learn the SKILLS that will enable them to approach both CLASSICAL and CONTEMPORARY

material with ease. ONE & THREE-WEEK HALF-DAY workshops include performance classes, technical apprenticeships

and audition techniques, in addition to FULL-DAY production and dramatics performance workshops. Now sit back as we
