Experience the thrill of performance!
Hone your acting skills, develop stage presence, and build confidence through this fun and fast-paced theatre crash course. You’ll work with experienced theatre directors and attend masterclasses in acting, theatre history, directing, and design. Each camper will have an acting role, and the week will culminate in a 40 – 45-minute showcase performance for family and friends.
You’ll benefit from devotional challenges that will strengthen your faith and help you develop a biblical worldview in the arts.
Please record and email an introduction video telling us your name, your age, your grade, and a 45-60 second monologue of your choosing to [email protected] by June 28 (Theatre 1) or July 12 (Theatre 2).
Specific clothing/base costume needs will be communicated a week before camp begins. If you are actively involved in theatre or plan to continue in theatre, we highly recommend purchasing character or rehearsal shoes. Open toed shoes (flip flops, slides, sandals, etc.) should not be worn to theatre camp.

When you arrive on campus, follow the signs to the Welcome Center to check-in. Our camp counselors will give you your camp schedule and camp T-shirt. If you have a camp balance, you can take care of it at this time.

If you need to pick up your camper before this time, please communicate that with your camper and/or the Welcome Center.
