Storycamp combines circus art and survival skills for children ages 7-16. We are an open classroom, project based approach to education that is implicitly child directed and welcomes teachers as co-creators of summer adventure.

While working with an underground circus in New York, Katrina learned of a woman teaching puppetry in a senior citizen center. She reached out to Audra, a talented artist and film-maker, who ignited Katrina’s burgeoning interest in puppetry. The class spoke mostly Spanish - a slight problem for Audra, whose German, Greek and broken French only made her seem more eccentric. The connection was made. Katrina translated and learned puppetry. The two of them began fabricating and creating story lines for the circus. They went on to create immersive theater experiences for children in New Hampshire - returning to the rocket ship, the now mossier rocks and tubbier tubs of Katrina’s childhood.

When the opportunity came to collaborate on a summer program for children, Audra moved West from New York. Nestled in the valley, amidst prairie dogs, ponderosa pines and the boundless sky of Colorado, Storycamp was born.
