How do the camp groups work?

Each day has morning and afternoon classes. All camp groups rotate through these classes. And, classes meet every day throughout the week so campers have 5 classes in any given topic (improv, music, movement, etc.) during the course of a week.

Is there a final performance?

Yes! Each session concludes with a Friday afternoon performance where campers showcase the work they’ve developed throughout the week. We encourage you to bring friends and family (and cameras!) to this heart-warming event.
