Performing Arts Camps

Week 1:
Peanuts On Stage: Step into the world of Charlie Brown, Lucy, Snoopy, and the whole Peanuts gang in Week 1 of our theater production camp! This foundational week focuses on the building blocks of putting on a show as campers prepare for You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Campers will participate in age-appropriate auditions, learning how to project their voice, express character, and take creative risks in a supportive environment. From there, students will dive into character development, exploring motivations, movement, and personality to truly “get into character.” The week also introduces blocking, as campers learn how to move with purpose on stage, understand spacing, and work together to bring scenes to life.

Week 2:
Peanuts On Stage Week 2 brings the full Peanuts world to life as 2nd–4th grade campers join the production as the ensemble cast, working alongside the 5th–8th grade lead cast in a collaborative, mentorship-based theater experience. Younger performers are guided by older students as they learn ensemble roles, stage presence, and performance etiquette, while lead cast members strengthen their leadership and mentoring skills. Campers continue developing characters, refining blocking, and beginning group scenes and musical numbers, with a focus on teamwork, listening, and confidence on stage. Through rehearsals, theater games, and shared reflection, this week emphasizes community, responsibility, and the magic of working together to tell a story.

Week 3:
Peanuts On Stage Final Week: In the final week, the excitement builds as campers bring the Peanuts gang to life on the stage! Students will explore technical elements of theater, including lighting, sound, and set transitions, gaining hands-on experience in how a production comes together behind the scenes. The week continues with a full dress rehearsal, allowing campers to practice their lines, songs, choreography, and blocking in costume, while polishing timing and stage presence. The culmination of their hard work is the live performance, where campers showcase their creativity, teamwork, and dedication to family and friends. This week emphasizes confidence, collaboration, and the thrill of live theater, leaving campers with lasting memories and a sense of accomplishment as they step into the spotlight.
