Preschool – Kindergarten (PreK-K)

Welcome to ETC Beginnings (ETCB) Summer Camps

Where imagination takes center stage!

Our half-day camps introduce young children to the magic of theatre through storytelling, creativity, and play. With professional teaching artists and a nurturing environment, your child will explore acting, movement, and artistic expression—no experience needed. Each week features a unique theme designed to spark wonder and joy. Choose one or join us for all five!

What to Expect

ETCB offers an enriching experience for preschoolers and rising kindergarteners to learn basic acting skills, and use their bodies, voices and imaginations to create exciting characters. 

Each half-day session includes:

  • Acting games and character play

  • Story creation

  • Arts & crafts

  • Outdoor time

  • A special sharing on the final day
