CFTC Drama Camp
Our mission at CFTC Drama Camp is to provide an opportunity for young artists of all abilities to explore their creativity, develop their skills, and build confidence through collaboration, participation, inclusion, and the magic of theatre. Each session of this camp will revolve around a one-act performance that will take place on the final day with a unique theme and activities, sometimes including special guest artists, so campers attending multiple weeks will get a new experience each time.
