From half day camps for preschoolers to multi-week teen intensives, ETC has a camp for everyone! Campers work with professional Teaching Artists to develop skills for theatre and life while working with their peers to make their own creations on stage and on film.
Camp topics include: acting, filmmaking, directing, improvisation, playwriting, Shakespeare, musical theatre, and more! 

ETC Beginnings

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.
