What are Theatre Arts Training Summer Camps?


Children’s Theatre Company summer camps provide experience to build curious, creative, and confident young people. With 11 weeks of camp, each week brings a new adventure for students in grades K-12.

Summer Adventurers | Rising Grades K-3

Our camps for Grades K-3 focus on imaginative play around a theme, book, or idea. Campers work collaboratively to develop an original performance piece to showcase the week’s learning.

 

Summer Studio | Rising Grades 4-6

Campers are introduced to the foundations of various elements of theatrical development. Our professional teaching artists create student-centered experiences in which students’ ideas, skills, and abilities take center stage.

 

Summer Studio | Rising Grades 6-8

Students can choose from camps that will flex their musical theatre, acting, and designing muscles. Students can focus on creating original scenes and plays, learning new songs and choreography, or building fantastic worlds.

 

Summer Studio | Rising Grades 8-12

The sky’s the limit. Students have options to dive into multiple theatre-making options. From half-day camps to two-week intensives, camps and this level challenge students in performance and design skills.
