Our dream is for our campers to be the next generation of musicians, actors/actresses, and dancers, and that they will use their talents and skills to make a positive difference in the community.
Our goal is to have our campers feel liberated in their lives through their experience in the arts. We want them to find their own creativity, their own means of expression, their own voice, and ultimately, themselves.
Our approach is dynamic, focusing on the acquisition of skill sets such as: self-confidence, voice projection and public speaking, creativity, team work, positive attitude, focus, stress management, memory strengthening, fitness, social interaction, investigation of human behaviour, and of course, building relationships.
Our hope is that Theatre Arts Camp will inspire all our participants to grow and explore, leaving them warm memories of energy, fun, laughter, and friendship that last well beyond our time together.

Each week of Theatre Arts Camp has a different theme to which all of the songs, dances, and dramatic pieces are tailored. These themes offer a framework for the week and a variety for those campers who choose to come for more than one week.
Each day of camp consists of games and excercises geared towards arts learning and fun. As well, campers are split into smaller groups for classes in music, dance, and drama.
At the end of each week, the campers give a final performance on stage at the Academy Theatre for parents, family, and friends, to showcase all they have done throughout the week.
Our program includes weekly visits to the Academy Theatre - for work on projection and performance, as well as a backstage look into the world of Theatre!
