Civic Theatre School Summer Camp
Civic Theatre School Summer Camp is two unforgettable weeks of creativity, performance, and fun, running Monday through Friday, July 13th–24th. Students dive into hands-on instruction in acting, voice, and movement, while also exploring exciting master classes in puppetry, stage combat, set and costume design, and more.
Every day is packed with opportunities to learn, play, and grow as a performer, and the session builds toward a entertaining final showcase where students shine in front of friends and family. Along the way, campers engage with our core curriculum, specially designed for each grade level, bringing age-appropriate themes and challenges to spark imagination, teamwork, and confidence.
This isn’t just camp—it’s a chance for your child to discover their voice, make lifelong friends, and experience the magic of theatre in a fun, supportive, and inspiring environment.
