Battle Up! Stage Combat Camp
The art of stage combat is seen every day on stage and screen. Campers learn the basics of stage combat using different weapons and fighting styles each day. Participants gain new respect for what it takes to bring combat to life on stage. The week culminates with presentations of campers’ own choreographed fight sequences.
Session: July 24 – July 28, 2023


Camps
From The Ground Up! Advanced Theatre Camp
Campers will start from the ground up creating their own production. From choosing a script, to casting and directing, creating props, set and costumes. Campers will learn about and be involved in every aspect of the creative process. At the end of the camp, they will perform for their friends and family and show off all of their hard work. So whether your camper prefers to be in the spotlight, or the one controlling the lights, there is something for everyone!
