Students in grades K-8 will love playing different characters in our weekly camp performances. Previous theatrical experience is not necessary.

Each week students will be divided into two groups based on grade level for theatrical experiences: grades K-4 and 5-8. These theatrical experiences offer great opportunities for students to explore creating characters and memorizing lines. Additionally, they help students more fully develop key life skills such as oral communication, teamwork, commitment, self-discipline and healthy self-images as they work together with other students to produce the 10-20 minute end-of-camp production.

HCPAC Youth Summer Camp students will not only participate in theatrical experiences but will also engage in traditional summer camp experiences such as arts & crafts, games, songs, guest speakers, outdoor play and special activities. NEW this year, students will also engage in weekly STEAM activities.

Summer Camp will be held on the HCPAC campus, Monday through Friday weekly from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM with a short camp production showcase held on each Friday afternoon at 4:00 PM.

This two-week immersion summer camp program is designed for students in grades 7-12. At camp, students will not only spend time preparing for the end of camp performance but also participating in theatrical workshops which will help train students for the STAGE of life. Some of the areas of focus will be: oral communication skills, creative problem solving, motivation and commitment, working cooperatively and independently, memorization techniques, time-budgeting, learning quickly, adaptability and flexibility, working under pressure, concentration, leadership and self-esteem, acceptance of disappointment and the ability to bounce back.

Previous experience is not necessary to be a part of this immersive program. We want students to have a fun time getting involved in theater whether it’s their first time or their hundred and first time.
