Step into a world of imagination and creativity at our Performing Arts Summer Camp!
Designed for young performers eager to explore the magic of musical theatre, this exciting program invites campers to bring stories to life through movement, music, and performance in a fun, supportive environment.

Throughout the camp, participants will develop foundational skills in acting, singing, and dance, learning how these disciplines work together to create dynamic performances. Campers will also build confidence, collaboration, and creative expression as they develop characters, rehearse scenes, and work as an ensemble.

The experience culminates in a final performance of Disney’s The Lion King JR., where campers take center stage to showcase their hard work and artistic growth. Featuring unforgettable songs from the Broadway musical and animated film—such as “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “He Lives in You,” and “Hakuna Matata”—the production is a joyful celebration of storytelling and performance.

In addition to performance training, young artists will explore theatrical storytelling techniques including mask-making and puppetry, encouraging them to approach this beloved story with creativity, pride, and imagination.

Perfect for aspiring performers ready to shine, this camp offers a well-rounded, inspiring introduction to the world of musical theatre—onstage and beyond.
