One-Week Camps
Our one-week camps offer students the opportunity to put on a show in a low-stress, high-fun environment. Campers will learn songs and dances, play games, and make crafts – all while rehearsing a 20 to 30-minute mini-show that they will perform for family and friends on the last day of camp.
Our one-week camps run from 9am-3pm at Center Theater 300-G East Main Street, Carrboro, NC 27510 in the West End Theater space as well as our secondary location at The Honeysuckle at The Union Grove Farm at 3501 Dairyland Rd, Hillsborough, NC 27278.
Performances will take place on Friday at 1:00pm & 3:00pm. Campers must attend both performances. Performances will be free.
Tuition for all one-week camps is $425.
