Campers take the stage in this unique musical theater camp that emphasizes collaboration and self-expression, and builds the self-confidence required for successful transition to high school. Campers work with high-caliber instructors to learn the tools for being successful performer. In addition to producing a Broadway Jr. musical, all campers learn or further their existing skills on a musical instrument.

Campers learn to:

• Stage a full-length theatrical production
• Interpret songs and develop singing skills
• Memorize lines and lyrics
• Get into character
• Refine skills on selected instrument
• Learn high-caliber dance routines
• Create costumes and sets
• Perform on a professional stage

Campers may audition for additional enrichment in dance and music, and may participate if selected at no additional fee. Campers’ creative work culminates with a full-scale production that is shared with family and friends during camp’s final week.

2024 Performance Dates: Thursday, August 1, and Friday, August 2

Encore Week Option: August 5 – 9

• Does my child need to audition for Musical Theater?

  In our Musical Theater program, campers are cast for roles in a Broadway Jr. musical. Campers work together with our teaching artists to try on different roles, and then prepare a monologue and a short song for an audition. This experience presents a perfect opportunity for campers who will be trying out for a performing arts high school or college.

  PAC emphasizes the importance of all roles in a musical and we teach our campers to commit to their character, no matter the size of their part. There are no “small roles” at camp. Campers also have the chance to explore areas of interest behind the scenes include costume and set design.

  Camp is life-changing! We have fun at PAC, and our supportive approach inspires the commitment and dedication of our campers.

• 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.

  Sample schedule:

  • Camp Meeting
  • Instrumental Workshop
  • Snack and Socialize
  • Drama Rehearsal
  • Choice-Time (swim option)
  • Lunch
  • Vocal Workshop
  • Recreation
  • Enrichment (Dance/Vocals/Instrumental)
  • Dance Workshop
  • Share Time

  Campers have access to playgrounds and acres of outdoor space to enjoy during free play. During Choice Time, campers can select from a variety of rotating activities such as bracelet making, song writing, board games, Broadway dance, stained glass, yoga, origami, mural making, and more.

  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.

  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.
