Calling all young performers and Broadway lovers! LifeLight Youth Theatre offers one-week Summer Performing Arts Camps where campers dive into the world of musical theatre - singing, dancing, acting, and more - all week long with experienced theatre professionals. Each session builds skills in stage presence, characterization, choreography, vocal technique, improv, and teamwork, while also exploring technical theatre elements like set, props, and production design.
At the end of each week, family and friends are invited to a fully staged performance, showcasing everything campers have learned. Camps are designed for a wide range of ages and all experience levels, no audition experience required (auditions are only for role placement and every enrolled camper performs). Spaces are limited and fill fast, so early registration is encouraged!
2026 Camp Dates:
