The event is co-sponsored by the Mokena VFW and we are collecting donations for the Manteno Veteran’s home.

Campers will perform songs from the show. There will also be performances by our Teen Summer Stock High School Musical 2 program and our private lesson students.

There will be food for sale and the Lions club will be selling beer and wine.

There will also be fun fair games and community contests.

WHAT TO BRING & WEAR EACH DAY

Please bring backpack or bag with a couple of sharpened pencils and a spiral notebook. The paper is used for various activities.

Easily sealable water bottle.

A light, no chocolate snack. Something like goldfish or pretzels are perfect.

All students should dress comfortably

NO Flip Flops or Strapless Sandals please. They are too hard to dance in and we don’t want any injuries.

The second week we will be doing a lot of prop making and crafting so please don’t wear your best clothes.

COSTUMES

Costumes are provided but students may be asked to wear simple pieces to go with or under their costume such as white pants or a certain colored shirt. We will send an updated list after parts are assigned.

AUDITIONS

Each child will learn about the audition process and then audition for their part during the first two days of camp. We want this to be a positive experience for everyone and will allow kids to audition in pairs and small groups. HOWEVER if your child is trying for a part that sings a solo in the show then they will need to sing a solo at auditions. Auditions are held in front of the entire camp and everyone applauds at the conclusion of each audition.

Character descriptions and the audition lines will be emailed in June. We will explain and review these the first day of camp after we do some team building/getting to know you theatre games.

For listening purposes you can find most of the songs by doing a search on YouTube. Simply enter the song title and “The Jungle Book Kids.” The Kids part is important as the Broadway and movie versions are slightly different.

FUN DAYS

As part of camp the kids will be suggesting and voting on various “fun days.” Once they have decided which ones they would like to have we will email a schedule to the parents. “Fun days” often include themes such as pajama day, decades day (50’s, 60’s 70’s 80’s), crazy hair or hat day and so on.
