The Far South Coast Creative Arts Camp is a 3-day creative arts camp structured around the theme of ‘transitions’ supporting Year 5 and 6 public school students from across the Far South Coast to explore and express their hopes and fears about their forthcoming transitions into high school through an integrated performing arts program.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in art forms including but not limited to: dance, drama, physical theatre/circus art, filmmaking, Aboriginal arts, visual arts and creative crafts.

The program will be delivered by specialist performing arts educators, engaging and encouraging students’ creative self-expression, and will culminate in a final performance for teachers, friends and families on the final evening of the camp.

We have a fun, challenging and action-packed program of creative pursuits to engage the student in the arts and look forward to igniting their creative spark and seeing what they can achieve.
