Helping campers to develop their creativity and fearlessly explore their imagination are just two of the goals that Grand Valley Shakespeare Festival will achieve in their first-ever summer day camp, Will Power. This camp, run by theatre professionals and featuring teaching artists from west Michigan's own Pigeon Creek Shakespeare Company, will use Shakespeare's works as a guide to teach campers about theatre concepts and storytelling.

The day camp is broken into two sessions each lasting one week. Session 1 will explore love and laughter in A Midsummer's Nights Dream and runs June 18^th-June 22^nd. The next week, session 2 will discover the magic and mayhem in Macbeth during June 25^th-June 29^th. Each session is broken down into two age groups. The 9am-12pm Buckingham group is for students entering grades 1-3. The afternoon is for the Westminster group which meets 1pm-4pm and is for campers entering grades 4-6. Prices for the camp are $100 per camper for one session or $180 per camper if they attend both weeks. There is also a $90 second child discount. There are numerous scholarships available.
