Camp Overview & Learning Focus
This two-week summer acting camp encourages students to dive into a shared script, build characters, and work on a play together, performing selected scenes. Acting, improvisation, and stage combat are taught in a fun, relaxed environment. Camp culminates in a Showcase performance on Friday afternoon.
Ready for a bigger theatrical adventure? Act: FIVE has all the fun of day camp, with the full immersion of sleepaway!
