Drama
 Theater is a wonderful place
for self expression. Our goal at Cedar Lodge is not to train
young actors and thespians and ready them for a life in theater.
That being said, we have had several of our past campers come
back and list their time at Cedar Lodge as part of the experience
that shaped their acting and directing
careers.............really!
 Our goal more over is to
give our campers a chance to experience something that perhaps
they haven't had a chance to experience before. A chance to
explore the creative side of their personality, in a comfortable
family environment. A chance to take chances and support others
doing the same. To that end, drama classes are offered
daily. Every week or two, dependent on interest, the
campers will put on a small play for our enjoyment.
 A major play is usually
planned to coincide with Family Day. Many of the plays are
written or re-written by the campers, sometimes they are directed
by campers as well. Our drama program is varied and far reaching
in our program and goes well beyond the plays and classes.
Examples of programs that we offer to encourage our campers to
experience a bit of Theater are: Skit Nights; Paper Bag
Skits; Drama Game Evening Programs; Gong Show; Talent Show;
Puppet Shows; Fairy Tale stories and Paper Dolls.
 For the more involved drama
students, the chance for more advanced productions and
improvs. is always an option. Drama campers usually have
something to perform to perform for Parent's Day on Sunday. It
may be a one or two act play, an improvisational or
something entirely different. They certainly keep us
guessing!
The talent of our campers never ceases to amaze us and we delight
in being the audience to their many drama endeavors.
