​​​​​​
Our musical theatre camps are designed to ignite creativity, build confidence, and foster friendships all through playful exploration. While students are learning skills like singing, dancing, acting, collaboration, and creative expression, we focus on growth at each child’s pace.
No Pressure. Just Play.
We do not produce performances at the end of each camp week. Instead, we keep the focus where it belongs: on fun, flexibility, and discovery. Our days are filled with theatre games, group numbers, character creation, storytelling, crafts, and tons of laughter.
But don’t worry you’ll still see the magic!
We share photos and short videos each Friday on our social media so families can catch a glimpse of what we've been up to. You’ll see your child light up with pride and maybe in a costume or two!
What will my child learn?
Everything we do is rooted in life-enriching skills:
-Vocal confidence
-Teamwork
-Creative risk-taking
-Physical expression and movement
-Problem-solving and adaptability
Our approach empowers kids to grow as artists without pressure, deadlines, or stage fright. We believe in joyful education where kids fall in love with theatre because it’s fun, safe, and all about them.
Let them play. Let them be learn. Let them shine. ​

Frequently Asked Questions
What does my child need to bring each day?
We like to keep things simple! Here’s what your camper should bring daily:
1 - A reusable water bottle - Hydration = happy actors. Please label it!
2 - Two snacks and a lunch - we do not allow sharing so make sure to bring enough
3 - Comfortable clothes for movement - We sing, dance, roll on the floor, and act like animals. Please dress for fun, not fashion.
4 - Closed-toe shoes – No flip-flops or sandals - we want everyone safe while dancing and moving!
5 - A big imagination – Required daily. No packing necessary.
​
My child is shy/inexperienced — is this camp a good fit?
Absolutely.
Our camps are built to be welcoming for all levels of experience. Whether your child lives for the spotlight or prefers to observe quietly at first, we meet them where they are. Many campers gain confidence just by being in the room with supportive peers and silly games.
​
Do you separate campers by age?
Yes! Campers are grouped by age or grade level as needed to ensure everyone is working and playing with peers at a similar developmental stage. Sometimes we mix for certain group activities to encourage mentorship and collaboration.​
​
Is there a final presentation we can attend?
We do not hold formal performances. Each week is about process, play, and imagination not rehearsals and pressure.
​
Will you be working from a script?
Not usually!
We use scenes, songs, and ideas inspired by musicals, movies, and creative prompts but much of our work is original, student-created, and collaborative. Think: storytelling with costumes, movement games, improv scenes, and group singing.
Can my child attend multiple weeks?
Yes, and we hope they do!
Each week has a different theme and a fresh set of games and activities. Many students return week after week and love getting to try new characters, stories, and challenges.
​
Can I stay and watch camp?
We totally understand wanting to see the magic firsthand but we’ve found kids grow best when they have a little independence. Unless your child has a specific need, we kindly ask that grown-ups drop off, give a wave, and let the play begin!
​
Can you send me a full video of what they did all week?
We wish we could but we are focused on being in the moment, not filming it. We’ll share photos and short clips on social media at the end of the week so you get a fun peek into camp life. Anything more than that takes our staff away from what matters most: your kids.
​
My child is very advanced. Will this be challenging enough?
We love that! And yes because our camp structure allows kids to go as far as their imagination takes them. Those with experience often naturally step into leadership or create more complex ideas, while newer students are building a foundation.
​
My child has never done theatre. Will they be okay?
Totally. Many of our campers are brand new to the stage and that’s why we keep it playful. There’s no pressure, just a lot of games, movement, music, and silliness that help every kid feel successful.
​
What if my child has separation anxiety or is nervous?
That’s common, and we’re great with gentle transitions. If you think drop-off might be tough, let us know in advance so we can support your camper in a way that works best for them. Usually, a welcoming face and a fun warm-up game do the trick!
​
What time should I arrive for pick-up on Friday if there’s no performance?
Just arrive at the regular time! We’ll wrap up with our usual games, awards, and hugs while you get to enjoy the week’s highlights via our social media photos and videos posted that evening.
​
Will my child be in the same group as their friend/sibling?
We do our best to honor buddy requests when it makes sense developmentally. If kids are a similar age and it won’t throw off the dynamic, we’re happy to keep friends together. That said, theatre is a great place to make new friends too!
