During our themed sessions, campers will unleash their creativity through arts and crafts, compete in high-energy sports tournaments, and dive into daily swim sessions.
Our camp schedule includes exciting one-week “Quest” and “Adventure” sessions in August, where kids engineer inventions and tackle outdoor ropes courses. It’s the perfect environment for kids to build confidence while having the time of their lives.

Leap into the magic of musical theater this summer. Young artists in grades 2–9 will spend the day singing, dancing, acting, and learning the history of musical theater in America. Each session will culminate with a performance for families and friends.
Frozen, Jr., our three-week camp, brings Elsa, Anna, and the magical land of Arendelle to life. The show features all the memorable songs from the animated film, plus five new songs written for the Broadway production. With a cast of beloved characters and loaded with magic, adventure, and plenty of humor, Frozen, Jr. is sure to thaw even the coldest heart!
Join our one-week camps for themed weeks of singing, dancing, and making friends! We’ll celebrate Halloween in July during the Summer Spooktacular week, mark America’s 250th birthday, and forget about our worries and our strife during the Animal Kingdom week.
