Father Son Camp – Teen Edition

Due to the success of our Father Son Camps for intermediate aged boys and their dads we are now offering it for teens! Father Son Camp – Teen Edition is an awesome weekend away for teenage guys and their dads (or fill in dad if dad isn’t around). The weekend is made up of various outdoor pursuits, lots of food, chill time and a few low key sessions to help you develop your relationship with your dad/son. Our previous Father Son Camps have always been great weekends away and filled up fast, this weekend promises to be the same.

Drama Classes In South Brighton

 Limited places are available in term two for drama classes at the South Brighton Canvas Bag Drama School. 

Each drama lesson is based upon a story, folk tale or legend. The children then use their drama skills to retell the stories with their acting. The classes are designed to build confidence, and to develop the children’s imaginations through voice,movement,and music focusing on imaginative characteristion. Each child is given opportunity to speak lines and become their own unique characters. This then leads into the term four production where each child is given a part with speaking lines and a chance to perform. 

Classes are held at St Lukes Church, 212 Pine Ave, South Brighton. Thursdays 3.30-4.30 for 5 to 7 year olds and 4.30-5.30 for 8 to 12 year olds. 

Our tutor is a qualified drama teacher with over twenty years of experience in teaching children in the performing arts. Please contact Gina Fowler on 022 351 2519 g.fowler.atsltd@gmail.com, or visit our webpage www.canvasbag.nz
