Step into the spotlight this summer! If you are a curious kid who loves to shine, then Performing Arts Camp (PAC) is the place for you!

Entering its 33rd year, PAC offers children a truly unforgettable summer experience. Under the guidance of our talented, fun-loving staff, campers flourish as actors, dancers, playwrights, musicians, singers, set-designers, and friends. Kids explore the boundaries of their talents and discover ones they never knew they had.

Campers grow by leaps and bounds at PAC. They become skilled and confident performers and members of a community whose friendships last long beyond the summer.

The energy and excitement builds daily and culminates in August with butterflies and wide smiles. All campers get to act in their summer plays, perform music on their instruments, share dance routines, show off their costumes and sets, and reap the joyous rewards of collaboration and creativity.

My sporty kids LOVED Performing Arts Camp which in my book is the highest praise there is! They have already asked to attend next summer. Garrett W., 2022

All of the collaboration and creativity seemed to take away any pressure to be “a performer”. There appeared to be a lot of support and encouragement among the campers. She cried a lot on the last day! Maria R., 2022
