Play and Perform!
Our camp staff will keep campers active and encourage creative play. We will spend the week learning about drama skills while exploring movement and enjoying the outdoor spaces at this location.
As part of this dramatic week, our staff will guide our young actors to create a short performance based on their original ideas, using available camp scripts, or both! Our campers have performed as pirates, princesses, witches, cats, dogs, and more - even working together to create structures onstage. Campers can try out costumes and props as part of their show. A performance will be presented on Friday afternoon in our rehearsal hall at the end of each camp week.
Join us to try acting and be creative in our safe and welcoming environment.
