Our campers live in Murrell Hall – a three-story modern dormitory, which keeps our community nestled together, while still giving campers ample privacy and space.  The halls are divided by grade – building friendships with near-age peers across ensembles! 

Campers live in triples with 2 close-age roommates.  Each dorm room has three twin beds, three dressers, shared closet space, and desks. 

Each floor’s Lounge is the center of its community.  With big, comfy couches for relaxing, memorizing lines, and hanging out with your friends, it's the perfect spot to hang out after rehearsal.  Each floor also has a study/craft/game room where you can leave out a puzzle, card game, or board game.

Two to six members of faculty live on each floor – including two Residential Advisors.  Our Faculty live in private rooms so that always nearby, attentive, and available, while still allowing campers an appropriate level of privacy. 

Traveling Players has partnered with SAGE, a leader in boarding school and college catering, to oversee the dining experience of our summer campers.  SAGE feeds the Christchurch community and brings a wealth of experience in providing delicious and nutritious options for developing palates and growing bodies.

Our campers eat a delicious, diverse, and healthy menu.  Every meal offers a buffet that includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.

Meals are served both inside our dining hall and outside on the patio.

As stated in a 2007 Washington Post article about Traveling Players, “Many kids’ first spiritual encounters take place in nature, where they discover something larger than themselves.”  Therefore, we link theatrical work to nature by rehearsing and performing outdoors.

Our scenic outdoor rehearsal spaces overlook the Rappahannock River.  They are all well-shaded to keep students cool on hot days, and have easy access to restrooms and water fountains.

We also have ample indoor rehearsal space to keep our students safe and rehearsing all day long – no matter the weather!

Both our Costume & Scene shops have large windows which let in natural light – ideal for painting and sewing.  The Maker's Space allows our technical students to push the bounds of their creativity.  Under the supervision of our Shop Faculty, students are trained to use a plethora of machines and tools, including a CNC Laser Cutting Machine and a 3D printer!

Adventure surrounds us, and activities outside of rehearsal are designed to cater to the range of our campers' interests. 

Afternoons might be spent at our private beach, where campers swim, kayak, canoe, and paddleboard right in the Rappahannock!  Campers can also play a game of pick-up basketball, go for a run on our indoor track, or continue to build their artistic skills through arts & crafts and specialty classes. 

Weekly campouts connect our campers with the outdoors.  We roast s’mores over riverside firepits and stargaze on the beach before heading to bed. 

Weekends and Evenings are filled with open-mics, outdoor movies, camp-wide games, and the crown jewel of each session – Camp Prom!*  

* Camp Prom is for 3 and 6-week programs only.
