Young performers will sing, dance, and act the summer away! Campers will play theatre games, learn theatre terms, and focus on facial expression, body language, and projection. They will also participate in swim lessons, arts & crafts, sports, and field trips. The fourth week of each session campers will culminate and present a showcase for family and friends.

This intensive workshop will carry campers to new levels of excellence by recognizing each camper’s individual talent and giving them building blocks to grow as performers. Included are courses in voice, acting, playwriting, and dance, plus traditional camp activities such as arts & crafts, music, swimming, weekly field trips, and late-night events. Auditions will be held within the first week. Everyone receives a role! The session wraps up with a full-length musical production for family and friends. One of the highlights of the session is a day trip to Universal Studios with a late pickup at camp that evening.
