Morning Classes
The morning instructional period takes on three different forms: Elective class alongside the acting campers, Introduction to Design, and Production Calls.

Elective classes offer both tech and acting campers the opportunity to explore a special interest area of theater, such as Playwriting, Directing, Comedy Improvisation, Choreography, Slam Poetry, Shakespeare or Puppetry. Electives are on a sign-up basis and take place over two weeks and two different rounds.

Introduction to Design is a class only for tech campers. During the five periods of this class, tech campers will spend one session studying the fundamentals of the following elements of production design: Set, Lights, Costume, Sound and Stage Management (not a design element, but an essential component of technical theater).

During production calls, tech campers and acting campers do hands-on projects for the shows, such as crafting props and painting scenery.

Afternoon Production
When the afternoon rehearsal period begins, tech campers divide into their specialized areas of study: Sets, Lights, Costumes or Stage Management. Tech campers are now an essential part of the Production team. They will learn their craft by working side-by-side with the ultra experienced, compassionate, talented and hard working staff members of Acting Manitou Production.

Evening, Bunks, Meals and Waterfront
All other aspects of the tech camper experience will be fully integrated with the acting camper program. Meals, bunk life, waterfront and evening activities will be shared experiences the tech campers take part in alongside the acting campers.
