Mystical Menagerie Aug 3-7, 2026 CAMP

What are we exploring?

Get ready to dive into your imaginations! Explore the enchanted world of magical creatures. Think: glittering art, soaring movement, and whimsical storytelling inspired by dragons, fairies, phoenixes, and more. "Create-a-Creature Workshop": Design your own mythical being with collage, drawing, and mixed media. "Mystic Movement": Explore how different magical creatures move—floating, stomping, flying, slithering. "Enchanted Encounters": Improv scenes where magical creatures meet and solve a problem together. "Wish-Wings & Horns": Make wearable creature accessories (wings, antlers, fins) for a final performance. "Legends Alive": Write wild stories about how it all began - how it all happened - how it all ends! Play with story structure and your personal narrative voice. Arts Assembly provides a creative and active space for kids to explore the arts on days that A2 public schools are out. Kids spend the day playfully exploring movement, theater, music and the visual arts. We love collaborative exploration, problem solving, and innovative solutions inspired by creativity. Led by U-M Professors in the Performing Arts, local teachers and artists, Arts Assembly is your downtown arts resource for the whole family.
