The Avalon Foundation is excited to announce a dynamic mix of tradition and innovation in its 2025 Summer Programming. As always, you can count on the classic experiences families know and love—but this year, they are expanding with even more to explore.
The Spy asked program director Christina King and teacher Rene Masaracchia, the delightful Mrs M, to come by the Spy studio last week to give some background and updates on this remarkable program for young children.
From returning favorites to fresh new opportunities, this summer’s lineup offers more depth, variety, and ways for kids to get involved, be inspired, and make lasting memories.
As they note, and due to popular demand, as determined from their waitlists of years past, they are expanding this year’s offerings to 3 sessions of Curtain Call Junior! Your young person can be enrolled for all three weeks since each week will offer a different script and show.
In addition, Short Week Big Show is back for the 4th of July week, minus Friday, July 4th, for campers entering grades 2-8!
The Avalon was also excited to announce Passport Around the World & Mini Monets sessions of our new Early Childhood Arts Exploration Program! Aimed to serve our youngest campers, those entering grades K-2, this week starts with a beloved children’s book, and it incorporates literacy, routine, and experiences in visual and performing arts, along with some of our traditional games and activities. The campers then present a Friday performance to showcase the week. Your young person will have fun, be immersed in the arts, and combat summer slide while at the Avalon Theatre.
Taking part in theatrical productions at all ages has true literacy benefits. The new Early Childhood Arts Exploration Programs are designed and led by the fabulous early childhood educator, Renee Masarachia. She has over 20 years of experience enriching the education and lives of all she touches. Affectionately known as “Ms. M”, she will make every week sparkle for your young artists while incorporating her knowledge and expertise in the early childhood sector.
