Bethlehem Summer Camps

CAMP TOUCHSTONE
Camp Touchstone is a two-week summer theatre camp for kids aged 9-14 years old, where students are guided through the process of creating theatre as an "Ensemble."

Led by Touchstone Theatre teaching artists, the program uses theatre games, improvisation, dramatic play, and creative writing to guide students through the process of creating an original play. The program culminates in an evening theatrical presentation for friends and family at Touchstone's 75-seat blackbox theatre.

Participants gain confidence in expressing ideas while building skills in speaking, acting, movement, and listening and responding to others. Instructors teach new techniques, while encouraging campers to build on existing strengths and natural abilities. All experience levels welcome!

The Lehigh University Basketball Camp offers young campers an opportunity to work and develop their skills in a fun-focused atmosphere. All youth get to work directly with our D-1 basketball players and coaches as well as select top high school and college coaches from around the area.
The summer of 2009 looks to be an exciting time at Lehigh; it is Coach Reed's second summer as Camp Director!
There will be two sets of games (morning and afternoon). Skill instruction taking place in both morning and afternoon portions of the day will provide a platform for campers to implement and utilize what has been learned within a game setting.
We are looking forward to June 15th and August 3th and having you be part of a fun, informative, and improved Lehigh Boys Basketball Camp!
