Parade Puppets
Presented by Green Box at Green Box Studios Green Mountain Falls, CO
Parade Puppets Camp Step into a world of imagination at our very first Parade Puppets Camp, where creativity takes center stage and kids become makers, designers, and parade performers. Designed for children ages 9–13, this hands-on camp invites young artists to dream up and build their very own parade‑sized puppet, culminating in a joyful march through the Green Mountain Falls 4th of July Parade. Campers will learn from award‑winning puppeteer Katy Williams, who brings her expertise, artistry, and deep commitment to safety to every step of the process. Under her direct supervision, children will explore the fundamentals of puppet construction and safely learn to use essential tools—including hand saws, hammers, pliers, electric drills, and even a chop saw. No camper will ever use a tool without one‑on‑one guidance. Beyond the workshop, campers will enjoy the stunning natural setting of the Green Box Arts campus. Days will be filled with creative building sessions, playful time in the streams, lunch on the green, and an inspirational hike to spark ideas for th eir giant parade creations. By the end of the week, each child will proudly debut a puppet that is entirely their own—an unforgettable blend of imagination, engineering, and summertime adventure.
