Across two weeks, campers collaborate with professional theater artists to write and stage an original adventure about a friendly yeti in need of help. The creative journey takes the ensemble through imaginary snowy peaks, introduces quirky mountain guides, and uses an unexpected friendship to shape the story.

Campers build the play together and present the completed tale to family and friends in the Pritzker Family Studio Theatre on the final day. Free before-care is available from 8:30–9:30 a.m., followed by free after-care from 4–5:30 p.m.
