Bay Area Shakespeare Camps: http://sfshakes.org/camp/index.html

We are thinking of sending our gregarious 7-year-old son to the 2-week Shakespeare camp. Would love to get your impressions of the camp. El Cerrito mama

I'd like to recommend the San Francisco Shakespeare Camps. They have camps all over the bay area which are fun, offer high-quality experience and are reasonably priced.

When she first went, my daughter had no experience in drama, and she loved it. She really loved the other kids, as well as the lessons on stage fighting (a highlight) voice and of course the play itself.

Sessions are offered for various age groups. http://www.sfshakes.org/camp/camp_schedule.html Shakespeare Parent

My daughter LOVED the SF Shakespeare Festival camp. I selected the camp because my daughter wanted to do Shakespeare and this camp was outside. The camp she attended was at John Hinkle Park in Berkeley. There are camps all over the Bay Area ? some inside others in parks. Last summer she was 12, and it was absolutely her favorite camp ever. She wanted it to go on forever. She liked the performance, the Shakespeare, learning how to ''stage fight'', but more than anything she liked how close the group of kids became working on something together. She had never done theater before, and she's a little shy. I was very impressed with how well she did in the production. They have camps for three age groups. The performances after the 2 week sessions are free and really fun. All the kids had a great time. Pam

Has anyone had experience with the SF Shakespeare Camp (for teens, at John Hinkel Park)?

Re: Summer drama for teens
Check out San Francisco Shakespeare Festival. They have a separate camp for teens. Both my daughters have enjoyed these camps, at all ages. Rosalie
