Campa Spraíúil | Mummers, Wren Boys, and Other Uninvited Guests is a week-long day camp for kids age 8+ located in Annapolis, MD. It promotes Irish culture through daily activities involving Irish history from ancient to modern times and Irish folklore. These activities will include: Irish dancing, painting, storytelling, costume and set design, singing, and poetry. Campers do not need to have prior experience in Irish dancing or music in order to attend.
The week will culminate in a performance that the campers will produce and design. Campers will present what they have learned throughout the week to their friends and family members. This particular camp will be organized around the four Celtic seasonal holidays and the traditions and festivities accompanying them. Many of these traditions include uninvited guests showing up in disguise at their neighbors’ homes to spread a little luck through music and dance. Campers will be learning about these different yearly traditions and attempt to recreate them for their own friends and family members to enjoy.
The end-of-week performance will be held on Friday at 7:30 pm at Hollywood Farm. After the Friday evening performance, campers and their friends and families will be invited to stay for a “bonefire” celebration, which will include a small family ceili. Kids can take home their props and costume pieces after the production
