Summer Camps

Looking for a fun, supportive summer camp where your child can grow in confidence and express their creativity?

Our summer camps combine acting, themed activities, crafts, cooking and outdoor play into a well-rounded, exciting experience for kids.

Each week is built around a unique theme, giving kids the chance to explore storytelling, creativity and imagination through a variety of hands-on activities - all leading up to a special end-of-week mini play performance!

What Makes Our Camps Special:

Each themed week includes:

acting games, improvisation, and scene work
theme-based crafts, cooking and creative projects
daily outdoor time for play and fresh air
social time to build friendships and confidence

End of Week Performance:

At the end of each week, campers will take part in a fun mini play performance based on the week’s theme! The focus is always on fun, encouragement and participation. This is a chance for kids to:

show what they’ve learned
build confidence performing in front of others
feel proud of what they’ve created

A Focus on Confidence First:

Whether your child loves to perform or is just starting to come out of their shell, they’ll feel encouraged and included. While kids are learning acting skills, the main focus is helping them:

build confidence
express themselves
