Jeghetto's Neurodivergent Puppet Camp @ The F7 Blackstone Ranch

- • Designed specifically for neurodivergent children ages 7 and up (negotiable upon maturity) • Small group sizes to reduce sensory overload and build confidence • Flexible, low-pressure activities that honor different sensory needs and energy levels • Creative art projects that support self-expression and emotional regulation • Trained staff experienced with ADHD, autism, anxiety, and other neurodivergences • Emphasis on strengths, creativity, and fun rather than compliance or conformity • Calm environment with quiet zones and predictable routines.

Your child will spend an unforgettable week on a beautiful 40 acre ranch in Mebane, NC. They will learn the art of puppetry from world renouned puppeteer Tarish Pipkins aka Jeghetto along with other masters of the craft. Campers will work on a puppet production that will be performed for friends and family at the end of the week. Campers will also be encouraged to participate in physical activity to the best of their ability. We will be playing running games, kickball, volleyball,etc. between puppet workshops. Young musicians are also encouraged to bring their instruments because everyone knows that puppets look better with live music. We'll see you at the ranch!

The camp weeks available:

* July 20 - July 24

* August 10 - August 14

- Weekly fee is $400 (limited scholarships are available)

- Be sure to bring your running shoes because it's going to get physical.

- Be sure to bring a lunch, waterbottle and anything else you will need to take care of yourself such as a jacket, sunscreen, etc.

- Be sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or painted on.

- Drop off starts at 7:30am for the early birds. Please be prompt when picking up your child at noon. We love your children but we have things to do. :)

"Thank you so much in advance for trusting us with your babies. That means the world to me and we are going to imagine, learn, play and create together. We are going to create JOY through puppetry in a world that can really use some right now.' - Jeghetto
