A Three-Week Summer Exploration of Musical Theatre for Grades 3-6
Three weeks during the summer | AM/PM Care Available | Optional Provided Lunch
First launched in 2026, the Youth Theatre Summer Experience is a three-week experience giving young performers a chance sing, dance, act, and build confidence while exploring musical theatre in a fun, supportive environment. Campers develop their creative skills while still enjoying swimming and other camp activities, then wrap up each session with a showcase in the Wool Studio Theater.
