We love the summertime. It’s our time to rest, relax, and rejuvenate after a busy school year. We can read, travel, catch up with my friends, and, more importantly, try new activities. Summer is the perfect time to explore a new passion, develop connections, and to discover a different side of ourselves.

With this in mind, we have expanded and extended our Summer offerings to include amazing opportunities to develop Creativity, Action and Academics, and Service for those in our community and beyond. Our programs were specifically designed by our amazing faculty based on their own passion projects. We’ve also hand-picked external programs that we know will help our students make new friends and discover new skills.

All families, from Stratford Hall and beyond, are welcome to register. We invite you to come join us this summer!

Ana Ver & Randie-Lynn MoffatSummer Programs CoodinatorSummer Camps Coordinator

capture (second intended pun) a love for photography through darkroom photo development, an

expertise in digital camera techniques, and numerous photographic field trip challenges sure to inspire

all your Instagram followers. You may never take another selfie, but if you do, it will be a really

great selfie!

COST: $550


Based on Augusto Boal’s ‘Forum Theatre’ and David Diamond’s ‘Theatre for Living’, students will

come together to create an original piece of theatre leading to a community performance. The two

weeks consist of collaborative skill building and trust-building games and activities, culminating with

the creation of our own plays. All days end with a traditional talking circle to debrief. These original

plays will be performed using Forum Theatre techniques, where a member of the audience replaces

a character on stage and the play is continued. This performance will take place on the final day of

the Program. This summer program is open to all students entering Grades 6 to 12, with or without a

theatre background, as this form of theatre is very accommodating of all experiences and

interest levels.

from the wide scope of athleticism and connections formed between the animal and the human world.

techniques. This will be followed by two hours of creative design of horseback movements and

finishing with horsemanship and horse care.
