Each camper participates in one class. Some classes may be canceled depending on the interest.
This year, there is the option of registering at the bottom of this page. This method is both faster and easier. As an alternative, you can e-mail us at info@midwestleadershipcamp.org with your child's top three class preferences in order.

Stop-Motion Animation
Combine your artistic and photography skills and make a clay figure come to life. In the Animation class you will create a figurine and take stills (photos) of the movements of your character. These photos will then be combined on iMovie and played back at a high speed. You will be able to see your figure move around on its own, doing things that it normally couldn't do. By the end of camp, you should be able to bring your knowledge back home and make many animations of your own.

Drama
Drama has sometimes been likened to an escape from reality, a chance to throw off our common faces and indulge in a variety of colorful personalities that we might like to experience. In the Drama Class, campers will be exposed to a variety of theatrical techniques to enhance their acting skills, such as improvisation, silent-acting, and small skit sessions, eventually working their way up to an original, short production. No prior experience is needed to join this class; all that is needed is a willingness to learn and appreciate the art of theater. If you have ever been afraid of acting, now is the time to cast aside those fears and enjoy the stage!.
