Traditional Summer Drama Camp
About the Camp
At our unique Summer Drama Camp, kids write and improv to create their own staged performance each Friday!
Each day campers rotate through sessions in art, music, dance, acting, stage makeup or stage combat - with some fun time for camp games and recess. Campers are divided by age and each play is written and performed with peers. Whether your child is new to drama or wants to further develop their skills, our one-week camps challenge each student.
Each session has a unique theme so campers taking multiple weeks will get a new experience each time. There will be an opportunity for both indoor and outdoor activities throughout the day. CFTC is proud to announce that former camp attendees have been featured on the stages of Ford’s Theatre and Signature Theatre.
