Kid’s Camps—The Performing Arts Camp Experience

Find the Right Performing Arts Camp for Your Child

Theater…dance…music…film. If your child has a passion for the performing arts, a camp experience can be a life-changing experience. Many performing arts camps bring in known performers to work with children. Your child can learn at the feet of professionals who know the ropes, who can help them build confidence and creativity. Performing arts camps are available for young people of all ages, from elementary school students to high school graduates. There are renowned camps located across the United States.

Educators and psychologists have long held that the camp experience provides benefits other than those related to the theme of the camp, benefits that can last a lifetime. The camp experience is built on community, and gives young people the opportunity to work cooperatively with peers, developing a range of positive social skills, including problem-solving, self-reliance and responsibility. Because camps promote inclusiveness and reward effort, participants can build self-confidence and independence in a nurturing and safe environment. Many experts believe that camps do a much better job of helping young people discover and explore talents and interests than schools do, as there is much less peer pressure and greater emphasis on community and effort.

Performing arts camps are not limited to the affluent. A study conducted by the American Camp Association found that nearly 90% of their accredited camps offered some level of financial assistance to campers.
