5th-8th Grade Program
July 6-12, 2025

The 5-8 grade program meets each camper at their skill level and expands their theatre experience and knowledge. Through a combination of hands-on activities, rehearsals, and performances, campers will have the opportunity to develop their acting, singing, and dancing abilities. With a focus on inclusivity and positivity, the 5-8 grade program is the perfect place for young theatre enthusiasts to explore their passions and connect with like-minded peers.

8th-12th Grade Program
July 13-19, 2025

*8th graders can come to either!

The 8-12  program pushes campers to expand their capabilities. We will dig into the creative process and go beyond the page. Our classes and rehearsals encourage actors to explore their range and dive deep into scene work and preparation. Dance and music instruction will teach actors to evoke the emotion and heart of the music. 8-12 grade Technical students will learn about scenery, props, costumes, lights, and sound to enhance the performance and expand our storytelling. They will learn the art of creating a composition with all of the technical elements required to create the world of the story. All their hard work will culminate in a magical performance for friends and family!
