Due to popular demand, this national award-winning program will continue to run for eight weeks! During the first six weeks, campers will produce elaborate musical productions each week. Roles are provided for all campers. Campers rehearse from 9 am to 12 noon, Monday through Thursday and perform their musical productions twice every Friday morning on the Main Stage of the MCC Performing Arts Center. Swimming, outdoor games and Tribal War (last week only) are included.

Tech Option (Available Sessions I & II)
(ages 13 & 14)
Campers who are 13 years old and up may choose to participate in the Tech Option, instead of rehearsing for performances. From 9a.m.-12 noon, Tech campers will build sets, paint scenery, sew and design costumes and organize props. During performances, Tech campers will function as the stage crew, making sure that sets, props and costumes are in place. This is an option that requires maturity and the ability to follow direction.

Teen Scenes Option (Available Sessions I & II only)
(ages 13 & 14)
13 & 14 year olds will have the opportunity to work with other teens to prepare a special teen production! The show may consist of monologues, scenes and songs that will feature each and every talented teen that wishes to participate. At the end of each 3-week session, parents, community members and the rest of Theater Camp will be invited to attend your show. During each of the traditional Friday performances, teens will act as ushers and theater managers, giving them the opportunity to develop new skills. We expect all teens that are privileged to participate in this special program to adhere to the program's rules and be ready to work each and every day.

Wednesdays Are Trip Days! (Session III only)
For full-day campers, Session III provides a chance to experience the magic of seeing a professional show, some for the very first time. Theater Campers will take a field trip on the last Wednesday of Session Three to see a Broadway show. Possible shows are MAMA MIA, THE LION KING, HAIRSPRAY, STOMP, BLUE MAN GROUP, BILLY ELLIOTT.

Fantastic Fridays
Fridays are Fantastic at Theater Camp! First, children perform for an audience of over 900 people. After lunch and a quick dip in the pool, there's a themed cast party such as Counselor Camper Look Alike, Rock Star Day, Halloween Dance, Pajama Party or the Summer Prom. It all adds up to excitement! The Cast Parties, complete with current music and lights, contests with fabulous prizes and group dances are the perfect way to cap off the week's activities.

Theater Camp is More Than Just Theater!
Our afternoons are filled with fun activities, including Swimming Every Day, Carnival, Mardi Gras, Scavenger Hunt, Tie Dye Day, Charades, Sing Down, Create an Infomercial, and relay races.  During our last week of the summer we divide the campers into two teams for our annual Color War.
