2024 SUMMER ARTS CAMP
What better way to spend a summer than creating, laughing, and forming friendships and lifelong memories? The Art and Culture Center/Hollywood offers three unique Summer Arts Camp experiences for different ages, experiences, and interests.
For those beginning their lifelong love of the arts, we offer a full-day immersion in the visual and performing arts: Artistic Adventurers. This camp uses play to introduce kids ages 5-7 to the wide world of art through music, movement, artmaking, and group games. Our 8–10-year olds spend their days exploring their interests in the visual and performing arts in Young Actors + Young Artists camp.
​
Starting at age 9, campers can take center stage in our 4-week long Broadway Actors camp devoted to staging a full-length production of a musical in our 500-seat theater.​
They also have loads of fun!

Broadway Actors allows campers to discover friendships and build lifelong memories while they produce and perform a musical production.

This exhilarating adventure draws to a close in a “Youth Edition” production at the 500-seat Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center.
(Campers receive complimentary tickets for family and friends.)
