Playmakers

Play Makers explore a variety of theatrical techniques through performance, music, and dance.

Over the summer, participants create their own adventure as they choose from a variety of 1 and 2-week programs geared towards offering a range of performance experiences. Playmakers should expect to explore their interests, celebrate their talents, gain new skills, and collaborate with peers and professionals. On top of their immersive theatrical experience, Playmakers also participate in outdoor day-camp activities to round out their camp experience.

In this integrated arts program, participants rotate daily through the creative components as they collaborate on a creative showcase that combines all of their artistic experiences. The schedule balances indoor and outdoor activities and gets kids engaged in an immersive and age-appropriate way. Each activity is led by a dedicated team of counselors whose background and passion are in youth development. The bonus of having the opportunity to work with a choreographer, art director, and music director, in the creative components brings an invaluable depth of knowledge and years of experience to this program.

This full-day program operates from 9:00-4:00 daily. Bus transportation is also available.
