Summer Camps
These highly engaging and fun-filled summer camps are run by the Teaching and Performing Artists who have crafted the themes and activities to include the whole child. Children ages 3 to 11 experience many aspects of putting on a production through dance, music, theater, and crafts. Materials for each camp are provided. Campers are asked to bring a snack and a refillable water bottle. Each camp includes a performance for family and friends in our child and family-friendly studios!
