Who thrives here Ages 6–8

Raggedy Ann Stories is well suited to lower-elementary campers who can sit through a 30-minute activity block but still need movement breaks every hour. theater/music content lands when it's framed as play first, instruction second; this age responds to friend-group continuity more than to specific skill outcomes.
