KidsCamp is sometimes affectionately referred to as “Drama Boot Camp” The camp is a very active week that touches on a little bit of everything that relates to putting on a performance.

Here's some of what the children do:

  • Learn basic stage directions and theatre terminology
  • Play classic theatre games and exercises
  • Work as a group to learn trust and responsibility
  • Build simple sets
  • Choose costumes
  • Memorize a role in a short play
  • Experiment with different ways to develop their character
  • Create props, sound effects, and special effects
  • Explore stage lighting and sound technology
  • Develop a stage presence during their performance

The current KidsCamp program began 6 years ago with just one teacher – the founder, Laurel Alford. The first week of camp boasted a grand total of 4 children. Last year, KidsCamp ran four one-week sessions with 30-40 children per week and used over a dozen teachers.

Camp Director Laurel Alford says, “ The importance of exposing children to live theatre is my personal soap box. In the public school system kids have the chance to play sports, sing, play musical instruments, learn academics... but they are not taught “performance” until they (might) take Drama in high school. Yet, every child is expected to KNOW HOW to perform every time they are asked to do an oral report, or participate in a school program. Public speaking is one of the biggest fears adults face, yet we can practically eliminate it by teaching acting at an early age.”
