About the StarFun Theater Camp

Camp Program

Most camp activities at StarFun are directly related to putting on a show at the end of each session. Every day the children will have classes related to the production of the play. These will involve set design and creation of props, learning and rehearsing lines and songs, as well as learning and rehearsing choreography and stage movement.

There will be two breaks in the morning; one for snack and one for outdoor play, as well as a lunch break and outdoor break in the afternoon. Each child will bring his or her own snack and lunch to camp. Group size is limited to approximately fifteen campers per group per session. Transportation is not provided.
