Theatre and the Arts
“Expression” has always been encouraged at Nashoba North whether it be through song, acting, batiking, molding clay, sketching or painting with watercolors.
The arts at Nashoba North are extremely diverse. Campers may choose to focus in a specific class for the week or they may prefer to try only a few different classes at once. Projects are carefully selected to enable a camper to achieve completion within the six-day week. Here you’ll find a pottery studio complete with electric and kick wheels, a woodshop where campers create with soft native pine and a photography studio suited for developing black and white 35mm film. 
There is a silk-screening studio where campers create colorful t-shirts, a dance studio where staff teach many styles of dance, and a large general arts and crafts building for other fun projects. Some other exciting classes include: basket making, tie dying, puppetry, drawing, paper maché, and candle making and much more!
Nashoba North campers perform in one large musical production each four-week session and in One Act plays every Saturday night. The plays are produced on our beautiful indoor and outdoor lighted stages and they generate enthusiasm and excitement throughout the entire camp. Musical productions in recent summers have included The Jungle Book, Seussical, Aladdin, Honk, Mulan, and Willy Wonka. Theater classes include improvisation, mime, stage makeup, lighting, set design, and more! Dances are choreographed by Nashoba North staff members for each production. Dance classes may include hip-hop, salsa, yoga, ballet, tap, modern dance, jazz, techno, and aerobics.
Nashoba is also excited to be able to offer campers musical instruction in a wide variety of instruments, including, guitar, drums, piano and more in our own “Rock Shack”.
Campers have the opportunity to jam with other campers and counselors and even to put together a band to play at Nashobapaloza. Past camper bands have included Stinky Towels, Portuguese Panda and Sarcastic Love. Campers can “cut an album” or simply record a few songs at the Rock Shack. Check out some audio clips of our bands from last summer.
