Watauga Arts Council Accepting Registrations for Summer Arts Camp and Missoula Children’s Theatre

The Watauga Arts Council is now accepting registrations for its annual Summer Arts Camp, featuring Missoula Children’s Theatre, which will take place June 21-26.  As the High School moves to a new location, so does our Summer Arts Camp.  It will be held this year only at the Blowing Rock School.  The Arts Camp is open to rising first through rising tenth graders and features workshops in storytelling, music, improvisation, the visual arts, and more.

The featured highlight of the arts camp is a production of Robinson Crusoe, which children will rehearse throughout the week and then perform for the community on Friday and Saturday, June 25 and 26.  Registration is $175.00 for the first child (which includes two tickets to the final production and a complimentary DVD), and $150 for each additional child in a family.   A limited amount of scholarships are available for families in need.  Our camp usually fills up quickly, so register soon!
