Summer Arts Camp 2012

Bring out the artist and performer in your child with visual, performing, and interdisciplinary programs at Summer Arts Camp. Each of the sessions allow children and youth to practice the skills they’ve learned while preparing for final exhibitions and performances.

For the child who loves to participate in the arts, we offer 10 weeks of our popular Young Actors and Young Artists series. For the talented performer who loves to be in the spotlight, we offer 8 weeks of our fantastic Broadway Actors program and 4 weeks of our Broadway Actors Advanced program. For the advanced visual artist, we have 2 weeks of Young Artist Advanced.

There are a limited number of partial scholarships available through our Arts Outreach Program for qualifying families. Awards are given on a first-come, first-served basis and may not be available for all sessions. Summer Camp begins June 11, 2012.

Broadway Actors and Broadway Actors Advanced

These popular full-day camps immerse students in both the performing and visual arts. Campers study acting, voice, movement, improvisation, costume design, set design, and technical design. They gain skills in character development, projection, articulation, creative thinking, problem solving, concentration, sketch design, and artistic creation. This exciting journey culminates in a “Junior Broadway” production at the 500-seat Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center, located at US-1 and Monroe Street (each camper receives two free tickets for family and friends). $725 members/$775 non-members, per session.

Due to the ensemble format of this program and the heightened expectations of the final performance, participants must meet minimum attendance requirements and commit to dress and tech rehearsals, as well as the final performance. Campers must bring a non-perishable bag lunch and two snacks.
