I love the educational plus the hands-on aspects of this program. The presenter engages the students, asks lots of questions and gets the students to repeat after him.

Maren was just named stage manager for her middle school play… Puppetry Arts nurtured her love of theater, and Puppet Camp gave her the confidence to believe she could really be a part of it. She’s thinking now that she wants to work in theater!

I truly appreciate the level of depth and thoughtfulness your team used when preparing this workshop… My own 5-year-old returned to school telling classmates how to make snow, and made a pulley with a scarf, a hanger and a water bottle. Keep up the great work!
