Week 8 (8/10-8/14)- Jr Specialty Theater Camp
This camp is for campers who are interested in rising to our 4-week theater camp in the future! Learn dances and songs to join our 3rd through 9th grader theater camp for their production, and participate in both shows alongside the theater camp campers. Junior theater campers will have ensemble and choir parts that best fit the amount of time they have to learn and perform. The friends and family production will be on 8/14.
Week 5 through Week 8 (7/21-8/15)- Theater Camp
This 4-week session of the performing arts camp offers campers entering 5th through 9th grade the opportunity to be a part of a full-scale theatre production. From acting work to choreography, and voice training to “behind the scene” opportunities, each component of this camp helps to build self-esteem as well as confidence that culminates to our grand musical performances! There will be two performances: one only for our camp, and another where friends and families are invited to watch and celebrate our stars!
Week 5 through Week 8 (7/21-8/15)- Tech and Theater 101
This 4-week session will teach campers entering 5th through 9th grade age-appropriate backstage skills with hands on experience helping create the set and costumes of our musical production. Campers will be supporting fellow campers by assisting with the construction of the set, painting, prop construction, and more. We not only want to foster creativity backstage, but also the collaboration and teamwork that goes into a theatre production. There is also a chance our tech and theater 101 campers will hold small parts in the production, if they would like to! Our hope is that all campers leave our theatre with a better understanding of how each piece of a production is just as important as each person who makes it possible.
Week 6 through Week 8 (8/4-8/15)- Junior Theater Camp
This two-week program is designed for rising 3rd through 4th graders to explore and develop their talents. Campers dive into the fundamentals of theater, including acting, voice, and movement, while gaining confidence and learning teamwork through fun, hands-on activities. Based on their comfort level and part availability, campers can perform in both ensemble and individual roles, with options to build on their experience or try something new. The program concludes with a showcase where campers perform for family and friends, celebrating their growth and achievements.
