Camp Description:

Dive into the world of musical theatre this week, whether your student is just starting out, or has more musical experience, this camp is for them! During the week students will experience a mock singing audition, be assigned showcase pieces, and learn multiple ensemble songs with music and movement! Students will work on general music and singing skills, learning choreography, and acting through song! All of the students’ hard work will result in a showcase at the end of the week where friends and family can cheer on their star!
