Dates:  July 6-24, 2020

Venue:  Lexington Presbyterian Church OR Remote Experience

From the Director: Covid-19 Response

Summer FAIR is excited to announce that we will be online this summer! Many factors played into this decision but we are looking forward to taking the campers on a new summer FAIR adventure. 

We have been working to make this a seamless, safe, and fun camp and are planning to use Google Classrooms and Zoom as our main ways of communicating with students and their guardians. 

We will still follow our usual schedule July 6th-July 24th from 8:25 am-12:05 pm and students will get their schedule a week prior to the start of camp. We will begin the week on Mondays with Zoom meetings with the instructors and a welcome from myself that includes information for the campers on how to use Google Classrooms and Zoom. 

The rest of the week campers will undertake projects with both live instruction and independently working with supplies sent for their classes. This could include things such as composing a dance and then sharing it with the group, creating a theatre mask, practicing their knitting skills, or writing a short story or play. 

This summer we will be doing an online Broadway Revue that features different musical numbers, dances, and scenes from a variety of shows from classic broadway up through modern hip-hop style broadway. Students will learn an array of acting styles, singing techniques, and dance numbers. It is a chance to explore the best-of-the-best in musical theatre and celebrate all things Broadway! This year, we are offering a discounted rate for FAIR’s afternoon musical theatre camp. Our virtual camp will provide both individual and ensemble lessons in music, choreography, and text work. In many ways, it will be more tailored to the individual performer than in year’s past, with participants having the opportunity to choose, master, and perform material from a variety of shows. While we expect this experience to be unique and fulfilling, we recognize that we aren’t able to build a set and sew costumes as we would for a full production. Unlike our in-person experience which offers constant engagement from 1-4pm, this year will allow students to schedule meetings throughout this time block to work with the directors. All sessions will be synchronous and the musical theatre experience will include ‘cast bonding’ moments as well as personal skill-building. While some things may be lost, many others will be gained and we are excited to bring you this unconventional solution in unconventional times. We hope you’ll join us for this virtual venture!   

We will begin mailing out supplies on June 15th, registration is welcome after that date, but supplies might arrive a bit later than the beginning of the campers’ class depending on shipping. 

Registration and class descriptions for the Artist Camp are live on this website!

Please share far and wide! As an online camp, we are excited to extend our reach to family and friends outside of the Rockbridge area!

With care,
