Unique AM & PM Programming! A diverse program for half & full day campers!*

AM Sessions will focus primarily on musical theatre, singing and dancing in the group musical numbers of each show while learning acting skills through character expression in song and dance.

PM Sessions will focus primarily on Drama through structured acting/drama games and playmaking techniques, with the goal of creating an imaginative group adaptation of each story.  Some song and dance will be integrated as a further means to tell the story.

How WE’RE DIFFERENT from other camps!!

  • Low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 (and often as low as 8:1)! We achieve a lot in a short time and do so by keeping our programs well-staffed with a low student-teacher ratio.

  • We produce top notch youth theatre and build a strong community. We train our actors to work as a team. Ensemble work accompanies all the work we do and the students thrive on it!

  • Professional theatre staff. Our teachers are theatre professionals with professional performance experience as well as a B.A. and/or M.A. in theatre. All our teachers are trained by us with a passion for the performing arts.

  • We are an equal opportunity program and there are no student “stars”! Each student has an equal shot at the part of their choice.

  • Our shows are unique! We train our students to think outside the box by encouraging them to understand their character choices and own their creative choices..
