Theater And Arts Camps Scheduled
"It will be fun having a full summer after last year," said Bente Weaver, production manager of Cavod Academy. "We had to cut back a little bit last year." Weaver is referring to the changes that were made in 2020 in order to keep campers and community members safe during COVID-19 restrictions. This year, Cavod, which was founded with the vision of raising the standard in godly artistic expression, will hold three summer programs at Cavod Academy of the Arts, 665 W. Main St., New Holland, with one camp held at the Junction Center in Manheim.
Circus Spectacular Camp will be held in New Holland for children ages 3 to 6 and 7 to 12 from Monday, July 5, through Friday, July 9.

On July 9, each camp will hold a closing performance.

The camp, which is for those age 13 and up, will run from 4 to 6:30 p.m. each day from Monday, Aug. 2, through Friday, Aug. 6.
