Campers Become Symphonic Storytellers.

Using traditional and contemporary folk tales as scripts,
participants add song, dance, music and action to retell the tale.

Campers become the Symphonic Storytellers. In addition to performance skills,
children acquire experience in costuming, set creation and props making.
