2026 SUMMER CAMPS

Skills learned during our classes and camps are invaluable for the hearts and minds of today's youth. We hope after your child's time with us they will have a better sense of self and will have developed skills that will serve them well into the future.

Mini-Musical Camps

In the mini musical camps, we will learn the age appropriate basics of music, acting, and dancing! Students will explore the worlds of each camp with themed songs, dances, and curated crafts suited to each specific camp. Your camper will have the opportunity to grow their confidence with public speaking, while building an understanding of their own emotions and feelings. While our mini musical camps are fun, they also focus on developing the whole child. The session will culminate in a short performance where the students get to show off their new skills!
