Created based on stories submitted from around the province, the poetry of former Saskatchewan Poet Laureate Don Kerr, and the outdoors experiences of a team of young professional theatre artists, each outdoor performance is followed by a theatre and puppetry workshop for children.

Synopsis

Two young siblings are taken from their accustomed urban world of video games and TV for a family camping trip. Despite their initial reluctance, the wildlife, the freedom, and the glow of the campfire give them a new understanding of themselves, their family, and their world. With actors taking on multiple roles, manipulating puppets, playing instruments, singing, and telling stories, audiences of all ages will be taken on a spectacle-filled journey into the wonders of the outdoors.
