Theater is an amazing way to bring so many things learned in the classroom to life.  Theater camp is a great building block for developing leadership skills, confidence, and collaborative abilities, as well as giving students hands-on experience with theater. This year’s camp show will be Matilda Jr. Rest assured, there will be many fun roles with something for everyone, from the experienced actor to someone who just wants to give acting a try.  Please note that because this camp culminates in a community production, it is important that campers attend all dates unless special arrangements are made with staff when registering. Also, please note that there will be no refunds issued after auditions begin on April 29th.
