Using creative drama activities students will explore their active

creative movement and dance, acting, mime, improvisation and arts
and crafts are included in every camp day. Some face painting and

students get a real theater experience, each session culminates
in a final performance with costumes and stage lights galore!
All Younger Company sessions include singing and dancing and
are staffed by a director, musical director, choreographer, and
costumer.

How WE'RE
DIFFERENT from other camps!!
-
We don’t try to do it all!
We offer quality youth theater programs and we do it well because
that’s all that we do! Our teachers are first and foremost
teachers trained by us with a passion for the performing arts.
-
Our shows are unique! We train
our students to think outside the box by encouraging them to
think beyond what they see. We introduce the concepts of magical
realism, surrealism, play, and pantomime.
-
Low student-teacher ratio of 8:1!
We achieve a lot in a short time and do so by keeping our programs
well-staffed with a low student-teacher ratio.
-
Building a strong non-competitive community
is our priority. Sharing circles, trust activities,
ensemble work and a sense of ritual accompany all the work we
do and the students thrive on it!
