ROCKPORT — The Riley School is offering a full week of camp in April and eight weeks of summer fun.

Riley Days Vacation Camp will be a week of both indoor and outdoor exploration for children ages 5-12. Campers will have the option to participate in a variety of activities such as: drama games, skit-making, storytelling, movement, music, pyramids, tumbling, field games, Legos, art projects, gardening, fort building, and exploring the natural world.

The theater will be an indoor playground where children will have use of the stage, to perform for each other, and for those that are interested, to create acts for Riley Nights: Community Talent Show, Friday, April 19 at 6 p.m.

Those who don't want to perform in the show can help with costumes, props and other aspects of community show-building, according to the School, in a news release.

“To run our camps we are pleased to welcome back Sydney Kenna-Moore and Emma Wilton both Riley alumni as well as Noelle Ott – all three, wonderfully capable and creative people,” said Riley, in the release.
