This August, from the 12th to the 16th, Theative Performing Arts hosted a fully booked, one-of-a-kind Wonkalicious Summer Camp—and it was truly something special! With children aged 4 to 12 split into two groups, our camp was filled with sugary delights, whimsical characters, and endless fun inspired by the magical world of Willy Wonka. It was easily one of our most exciting and memorable camps to date!
Dance, Songs, and Bubble-Filled Fun
Throughout the week, the children worked on a series of fantastic dance numbers in both ballet and jazz, bringing the story of Willy Wonka to life through movement and music. Some of the standout moments included our Oompa Loompas’ cheeky dance and song, inspired by Violet Beauregarde’s blueberry moment, and our fizzy lifting drink bubble ballet, complete with bubble guns for an extra touch of magic. The kids had an absolute blast performing these fun routines, and the energy in the room was nothing short of magical!
Singing the Wonka Stage Musical
But that wasn’t all—the children also learned songs from the Willy Wonka stage musical, showing off their singing skills alongside their dancing. Watching them sing and dance their hearts out to their favourite Wonka tunes was nothing short of delightful!
Arts, Crafts, and Scenery Galore
To add even more fun to the mix, the children spent part of each day creating Wonka-themed props and scenery during our arts and crafts sessions. From colorful candy props to dazzling gold tickets, their creativity knew no bounds! By the end of the week, the studio was transformed into a magical Wonka wonderland, setting the perfect stage for the grand finale.
Movie Magic and a Show-Stopping Finale
At the end of the week, the campers enjoyed a screening of the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, which sparked even more excitement for their performances. And, on the final day, the children donned costumes and showcased everything they had learned throughout the week in a spectacular performance for their families. From bubble-filled ballet numbers to jazzy Oompa Loompa routines, the performance was a colorful, high-energy treat for everyone!
