June Week-Long Musical Theatre Camps
Encanto and K-Pop Demon Hunters
Join us this summer for two, mini week-long camps filled with music, movement, creativity, and friendship. We have a week of Encanto and a week of K Pop Demon Hunters!
Our Encanto Camp will be held June 15th–19th, Monday–Friday, from 9:00am–12:00pm, for ages 7–17.
Our K Pop Demon Hunters Camp will be held June 22nd-26th, Monday–Friday, from 9:00am–12:00pm, for ages 7–17.
These mini camps are perfect for music and musical theatre lovers looking for a joyful summer experience. Campers will learn and perform 2–3 songs from Disney’s Encanto, the first week, and 2-3 songs from Netflix’s K Pop Demon Hunters, the second week. Complete with singing, choreography, games, and theatrical fun throughout the week, campers will have a blast at either or both of these camps.
Each camp will conclude with two special mini-showcase performances- Friday, June 19th for Encanto and Friday, June 26th for K Pop Demon Hunters. This gives friends and family a chance to enjoy and celebrate all the students have learned!

July’s Summer Musical Theatre Camp:
Robin Hood: The Musical
Good News — We’ve opened a few more spots for our “Robin Hood: The Musical” Summer Musical Theatre Camp!

This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to step into the story of Robin Hood — singing, acting, dancing, and building confidence alongside new and familiar friends. Over the weeks, they’ll grow in creativity, teamwork, and stage presence while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Led by Miss Hannah Pierce and assisted by Miss Mackinzie Rogan, join us for a 4-week experience Monday thru Friday, 8:30am-1pm, from Monday July 6th, thru Friday July 31st.
Performances are tentatively scheduled for Friday, July 31st at 7pm and Saturday, August 1st at 2pm.
