Wondergglass

Explore the world around you in our Wondergglass Camp (formerly Arts Quest)! Campers delve into the theatre arts through daily classes in storytelling, music, and art, with introductions to our signature physical theatre style. We explore Chicago’s most exciting cultural destinations during our field trips, and we host a special guest artist each session. When we’re not out and about in the city, we use dedicated rehearsal time to create an original piece of theatre, which we perform live on stage at the end of the session. This camp is perfect for the artistic adventure seeker in your life

Wondergglass meets Monday through Friday, from 9AM-2:45PM. The maximum enrollment for any given Wondergglass session is 30 students. Each session, students are split into two groups, according to grade level— the exact number of students in each group will differ according to session size. If you know a fellow Wondergglass camper, and would like the students to be grouped together, you are welcome to submit a friend request, either by indicating your request during camp registration, or by calling our office at 773.477.9257 x193. While we always strive to group campers together, we cannot guarantee that every friend request will be honored, due to group size and entering grade level of other campers.

Our Wondergglass staff includes two full day teaching artists, three specialists (music, storytelling, and visual art), and two full time college interns. At any given time during the camp day, 2-3 adults are assigned to each group of campers. Over the course of each two week session, our Wondergglass staff – guided by the ideas and interests of our campers – create an original piece of theatre surrounding the session’s theme!
