There is room for each child to shine in this joyful and creative ensemble-based program. Excited campers return annually to experience the collaborative process of bringing a story to life. Under the guidance of theater professionals and energetic counselors, every camper to finds personal success, develops true friendships, and builds happy memories that last a lifetime.

Campers will:

• Use myths, fairy, and folk tales to inspire storylines
• Develop improvised scripts with our professional drama director
• Create songs with our musical director
• Devise dances with our choreographer
• Construct sets with our tech director
• Design costumes pieces with our costume designer
• Learn a musical instrument with a specialist
• Participate in daily recreation and choice periods

Campers’ creative work culminates with a full-scale production that is shared with family and friends during camp’s final week.

• What will be my child’s typical daily schedule?

  Every day of Performing Arts Camp offers a mixture of scheduled and free-choice activities. Campers connect at the morning meeting, and then they travel with their camp groups through an exciting rotation of indoor and outdoor periods, including:

  • Camp Meeting
  • Instrumental Workshop
  • Snack and Playground
  • Drama Workshop
  • Choice-Time (includes swim option)
  • Lunch
  • Vocal Workshop
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Dance Workshop
  • Enrichment
  • Share Time

  Enrichment Periods are available to 5th-9th grade campers. These auditioned-based programs are offered to campers who seek additional instruction in dance or instrumental music.

  Campers have access to playgrounds and acres of outdoor space to enjoy during camp. During Choice Time, campers can select from a variety of rotating activities such as playground, bracelet making, board games, hip-hop, stained glass, yoga, origami, slime-making, and more.

  Share Time is a weekly activity that campers fondly anticipate! Each Friday afternoon, camp groups share the progress they’ve made toward their final performances in drama, dance, or instrumental.

• Does my child need to audition for camp?

  We do not interview or audition children; rather, we attract kids and families who share our understanding of what an art, music, dance and theater camp can and should offer: non-competitive, self-directed, process- and learning-oriented programs in a small, friendly community. Camp is life-changing! We have fun at PAC, and our supportive approach inspires the commitment and dedication of our campers.
