The blend of performance and instructional opportunities in a theatre summer camp program, musical or otherwise, helps children develop skills they’ll carry through life both on and off the stage. Whether a camper has extensive stage experience, has just been involved in a few skits with friends, or is excited to enter the art world for the first time, theatre summer camps can guide them toward their dreams.

Benefits of Theatre Camps

Attending a theatre camp encourages teamwork. Many of the acting warm-up exercises are improv games where campers must work together to create scenes. Budding techies get to cooperate with instructors and their fellow students on aspects like lighting and props. Kids can also get firsthand experience with learning how to promote a play—for example, creating program covers.

Theatre is also an excellent way to teach young ones the value of compassion and empathy. The simple act of “playing pretend” and stepping into a character’s shoes teaches children the value of learning from other people’s circumstances. A youth theatre camp offers a way for participants to communicate and connect with others. The actors demonstrate and share thoughts and emotions challenging various subjects. For the actor, it is not about becoming another person on stage but being offered a chance to express themselves uniquely.
