What ages are accepted? 

We have two 1-week camps for ages 7-11 and 1 2-week Intensive Musical Theatre Camp (Shrek, jr.) for ages 11-17.

Do I need experience? 

No, many camps are open to all skill levels, from beginners to experienced performers.

A typical day includes workshops in improvisational games, acting, (voice and dance in our Musical Theatre Camps) with rehearsals for our final showcase.

Programs usually culminate in a public performance or “shareformance” on the final day, complete with minimal costumes, sets, and props, sound enhancement and lighting. We also have an end of camp ice cream social and Strike (clean-up).

Campers should wear comfortable, flexible clothing suitable for movement, such as cotton t-shirts, sweatpants, or shorts. What is the focus of the camp? 

While producing a show is central, we also work to build self-confidence, teamwork, and resilience.

Our camps do not require auditions for placement, though we do hold a low-stress audition to determine particular roles.

Each participant will also need to bring their own lunch, bottle of water and a snack. We will provide some snacks as well.

Our quality programs have strict policies for ‘team member’ behavior and against bullying. We require background-checked, trained staff. We also require that all students disclose any medical issues (medications needed, allergies, etc.) to us so we can keep everyone healthy and safe.

Yes. We will be inside or outside depending on the weather. 

No, all are welcome. Invite your friends and family. There will be no charge.

Please let us know what those needs are and we will accommodate to the best of our ability.

At Historic Elitch Theatre, we believe that when people feel respected and included, they can be more creative, innovative, and successful. All youth are welcome at our summer camps and other programs. It is the policy of Historic Elitch Theatre that we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law.
