Theatre Camp
July 12 - 16, 2021
Enjoy a week exploring the world of theatre and immersing yourself in this energizing profession! The week includes attending a professional theatre production which is still to be announced and culminates in a performance for your family and friends on the final day of camp. As an image-bearer of God's creative design, you'll discover what it means to use your own creative gifts in performance, ministry, and worship.
The week includes attending a professional theatre production of The Little Mermaid at the LaComedia Dinner Theatre in Springboro, Ohio, and culminates in a performance for your family and friends on the final day of camp.
Theatre Camp is open to students between the ages of 14 and 18.
