Step into the magical world of Cinderella and see if the shoe fits. Meet mice that sing and dance while getting Cinderella to the ball in a magic pumpkin all arranged by her fairy Godmother. But the true magic is unforgettable memories you will create with your family - memories that will last a lifetime!.

This beautiful musical by Michael Sgouros & Brenda Bell is based on the beloved classic fairy tale. Poor Cinderella, she works all day, has to deal with those awful step-sisters and then sleeps in the cinders. But, don't be too sad because Cinderella is one smart cookie. She'll make it to the Prince's ball and capture his heart. Sure, she may loose one of her shoes, but what she gains is worth more than gold!

In addition to the one hour musical, the audience receives a special treat - interactive arts workshops prior to the performance. Here the audience learns about the original book and how we turned it into a musical. We discuss the themes of the show and how the arts bring literature to life. Then the kids and their families make their own crowns and magic wands to take home as a souvenir. Now when they watch the show, they are familiar with the art forms and themes represented in the production.

Take the ideal family vacation this summer at Camp Walt Whitman.

Our Family Camp has a wonderful low-key vibe and amazing offerings for you and your kids alike.

Each morning you can spend quality time with your family as you swim, make art, waterski, zip line, play tennis or hike our breath-taking trails.

In the afternoon, you'll have time to yourself as your children play under the guidance of our best counselors. Relax by the lake, improve your backstroke, learn how to sail, practice yoga - our camp is your oyster.

Following dinner, make memories together over classic camp activities like S'more-filled campfires, our mini-Olympics, a Luau, a Pool Party, a Scavenger Hunt, and Talent Show.

Afterward, activities for teens and tweens as well as our baby-sitting service mean you can enjoy adult time together around the campfire or play games in our lounge.

We have so many things to do, but you can also choose to not do anything! You can just relax and read a book outside if you prefer - it's your vacation.

Dates for Family Camp 2018 are Monday, August 13 to Friday, August 17
Prices are $700 per adult and $500 per child. Kids 3 and under are free.
