SUMMER CAMPS
*OUR SUMMER DATES ARE...
-Session I:
July 8th-26th
-Session II:
July 29th-August 16th
*WE OFFER 3 UNIQUE CAMPS:
-PERFORMING ARTS DAY CAMP (for ages 5-13)
(HOURS ARE *10:30am-5:30pm, Monday-Friday)
*Supervised play & drop off period is offered starting at 8:30am for an additional fee.
We have two levels for this camp, beginning/intermediate and intermediate/advanced. Children get to work with different instructors during the day and explore many aspects of the performing arts. Our program includes a glimpse into improv, scripts, characters, stage presence, jazz, hip-hop, ballet, tap and music (vocal or instrumental depending on the child’s interest.) We feel it is this distinctive blend of activities that provides the most rewarding and positive camp experience a child can have.
Experience is not needed, just a curiosity and an interest in the performing arts. Although the performances will always be wonderful, it is the process the campers go through and the fun they have along the way that are the most important elements. The final day of camp concludes with a revue of what the campers have learned in the workshops.
-(All Campers will receive a printed program and a certificate of participation.)
-INTENSIVE PERFORMING ARTS CAMP (for ages 14-17) (Hours are 6pm-8pm, Monday-Friday)
Each week, campers will work on a different discipline. The first week, we will work on all styles of dance and prepare a piece for the showcase. The second week, we will work on many parts of acting. (Improvisation, scene study, and character analysis are just some of the areas we will focus on.) The last week, we will incorporate music; both vocal and instrumental. At the end of each session, campers get to invite their friends and family to a viewing of their creation.
-(All Campers will receive a printed program and a certificate of participation.)
-MINI PERFORMING ARTS CAMP (for ages 2-4)
(Hours are 9am-10am, Monday-Friday)
Your child will enjoy 20 minutes of dance, 20 minutes of acting and 20 minutes of music everyday. Campers will put together a piece that incorporates all three areas. On the last day of camp, your child will present a piece collaborating all that they have worked on.
