Students Learn, Sharpen Their Spy Skills
During February break, the Belmont Day School campus transformed into a school for super sleuths with all sorts of whodunit programs. Our young detectives and spies explored everything that the campus had to offer. Their sleuthing instructors, Ms. Fields and Mr. Armstrong, taught the campers about track casting, Morse code, and all sorts of spy skills. We ended the week with a live action game of Clue–The Case of the Missing Sheep (note: no real sheep went missing in the running of this camp). Be sure to ask a camper about optical illusions, spy kits, and what a detective keeps in their journal.

Campers Take A Turn on the Red Carpet
A talented group of campers stepped into the spotlight at our Red Carpet Camp. Throughout the week, campers immersed themselves in acting, movement, and musical performance, building skills in character development, stage presence, vocal performance, and ensemble collaboration.
Students performed a scripted scene, explored physical storytelling through movement, and brought energy to the stage with musical numbers from Seussical and Toy Story. More than just learning lines and choreography, they strengthened confidence, creativity, and teamwork.
By the final showcase, the growth was undeniable. Red Carpet Camp once again proved that when young performers are challenged and inspired, they rise to the occasion.
