Noyes School of Rhythm Summer Program
July 7th-July 26th, 2025
This summer, we will offer three weeks of Noyes Rhythm summer programming. These weeks will follow a Monday arrival-Sunday departure schedule for each session. We will offer traditional Noyes programming in the mornings, including recreation class, technique, and reading, with afternoons dedicated to a range of activities including exploring the property, swimming, and the invitation to create artwork or sing. Evenings are dedicated to improvisational movement (Playtime), with a culminating evening of Saturday night performances. We will share daily work and enjoy a full program offerings as well as rest and relaxation.
If you are planning to participate for more than one week, please note that the last meal on Sunday will be breakfast, and there will be no programming or other meals offered on-site until the Monday evening supper cookout. Monday programming will begin with an afternoon playtime (improvisational dance session) at 5pm, followed by a campfire cookout and orientation to the week.
We are offering two types of weekly rates: cooperative work participant or retreat participant.
