Move over Pandemic, the Vagabond Theatre Company is preparing for a safe and fun week teaching kids about theatre! It's hard to hold a good program down and we're doing our best to make sure camp is a go this year. Following government guidelines (and more, just to be safe), our camp will be structured with safety for children, instructors, counselors, and family in mind. Groups of no more than 10 children per instructor will follow social distancing guidelines during sessions and lunch; and sanitizing stations will be available with children (and adults) being taught proper handwashing and sanitizing techniques as part of our 2020 camp curriculum.
