Summer Camp
Summer Camp 2026 Registration IS NOW OPEN!
Stay tuned for information on our Summer 2026 offerings by subscribing to our mailing list.
The Phoenix Theatre Company is dedicated to making the arts accessible to children and young adults of all ages and abilities through our Summer Camp programming. We are pleased to offer eight weeks of classes this summer.
Summer Camp 2026 will run May 25 – July 24 with the week of June 29 – July 3 off for the July 4th holiday. We will have camp on Memorial Day, May 25th.
Our Weekly Musical Theatre Camps (ages 7-17) and our Little Playmakers camps (ages 4-6) will run all 8 weeks and our Master Classes (ages 7-17) will run select weeks throughout the summer.
SUMMER CAMP MISSION
Our mission is to create an inclusive environment where young people can communicate their thoughts and feelings effectively through the arts while developing confidence, a positive sense of self, and nurturing their inner artist. All our staff members have previous experience in the arts, as well as working with children, and they are tasked with developing each child’s unique talents and form of expression. As an inclusive camp, all campers learn the same curriculum in the same classroom space, and all are welcome regardless of ability or experience. From campers to counselors to teachers – the sense of community and togetherness is strong – building new friendships and memories to last a lifetime.

CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY
Please give full consideration to your summer plans before signing up for classes! Our classes are limited in size to give each student the best experience possible. Full refunds are available only with a minimum of four weeks advanced notice from your camper’s first day of camp. All cancellations occurring between two and four weeks prior to camp qualify for a refund of up to 50%. If a cancellation is made within two weeks or less of the start of a camp session, no monies will be refunded. This refund policy is enforced regardless of your reason for cancellation.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Through the generosity of our donors, The Phoenix Theatre Company is pleased to offer scholarships for campers with challenging economic needs. Since the availability of scholarship money is extremely limited and will cover only a portion of the cost to attend Summer Camps, we have implemented an application process to ensure that available funds are distributed as fairly as possible. If you feel you need scholarship assistance, please carefully review and complete the application at the link below to be considered for a scholarship (incomplete applications cannot be considered).
Please note that scholarship awards may only be applied to the direct cost of camp attendance and may not be applied to pre or post camps or other products and/or services that may be offered.
Submissions for Summer Camp 2026 Scholarships have closed.
