Theatre Camp (Ages 7-10)
Theatre Camp (Ages 7-10)

Join us for a fun and energetic 4-day theatre camp designed for children ages 7-10! Campers will explore the exciting world of acting, improvisation, and pantomime through interactive games, creative movement, and group activities. Throughout the week, students will build confidence, develop storytelling skills, and learn how to express emotions and actions using their body, facial expressions, and imagination. Each day will include theatre warm-ups, improvisation games, and opportunities to create short scenes in a supportive and fun environment. We’ll focus mostly on pantomime (telling stories without words) while also exploring basic acting and stage skills. On the final day, parents are invited to attend the last 30 minutes of camp for a short, informal showcase where campers will share some of the games and pantomime scenes they’ve created during the week. No previous theatre experience is needed! Just bring your creativity and be ready to have fun!

Times: 12:30pm-2:30pm
