Program Highlights

Performance Opportunities

At the end of the session, there will be an open class performance! This is your chance to show your family and friends your new skills and how much you've grown as a performer over the summer.

Recreational Activities

This might be arts camp, but it's still camp! In addition to acting workshops, you'll have the chance to explore the woods and swim, play field games, and learn cool skills like archery.

Meet the Faculty

The Young Actor's Workshop faculty are professional artists and teachers. They love to be both on the stage and see you perform on the stage from behind the scenes!
