Summer Theatre Camp and Performance Academy
Join us for a summer of play! Camps will be held at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and in Mason, and COVID-19 safety measures will be in place at all locations. Together we’ll explore fantastical worlds, storybook lands, our favorite books and
movies, and so much more. Tuition ranges from $200 to $845 and varies depending on camp type and number of weeks.

Camp Ideology
We believe everyone has a voice. Our process-based summer camp programs are designed to build confidence, strengthen communication skills and develop a sense of ensemble and community. Camps for young people ages 6 to 17 focus on individual and collective
development in a fun, supportive and skills-based environment.
This year's camps include:
• Full-day, one-week camps for incoming first- through 10th-graders
• Full-day, one-week and multi-week Performance Academy camps for incoming first- through 12th-graders
