We are thrilled to share a whole host of summer camps with you this year!
Shaking the Tree is expanding, and not only do we have a newly insulated theatre, but we also have a new studio/classroom/rehearsal space in the building, so students will have a beautiful classroom space to work in during the week, and then we'll move into the theatre to perform our plays for family and friends. We can't wait to share Shaking the Tree's new campus with you. Join us for a summer filled with creativity and fun!
