This weeklong, in person theater camp offers an unforgettable experience for campers ages 8–15. We provide a fun and safe professional stage to build self-esteem, foster independence, and grow as individuals while learning to work as an ensemble. A team of professional teaching artists led by Whitney and Paul Minarik, will guide campers as they write their own scripts and develop their acting, singing, and dancing skills.
