Theatre 360 Camps
“She has done some acting/singing/dancing before (her first love!) but really loved the 360 view of the whole process since she doesn’t usually get much exposure to that when performing.”
At CCT, we’re all about giving students a complete theatre experience that goes beyond the stage!
Each week of camp is packed with hands-on opportunities to perform and create. Students won’t just shine on stage, but will also get their hands dirty behind the scenes, exploring everything from scenic design to costuming and more!
Our goal is to spark imagination and curiosity in students of all ages and skill levels. Theatre isn’t just about acting—it’s about building confidence, learning how to collaborate, and finding your voice. Along the way, your child will gain valuable life skills they’ll carry with them long after the curtain falls.
Did you know we offer camps throughout the year? Whether it’s Spring, Summer, or Fall, we’ve got a Theatre360 Camp with your child’s name on it. Sign up today and let’s begin an unforgettable experience!
