Artist Playhouse Summer Camp is all about having fun while inspiring young artists to create and enjoy their summer break!

Campers will spend each week making friends while learning to play a musical instrument such as the ukulele, forming a rock band with their camp group, drawing, painting, crafting, dancing, and deriving theater scenes for an on stage performance that they will put on for their family and friends every Friday at 4pm. Campers will spend each day in music, dance, theater, and visual arts classes, learning from nurturing and experience teaching artists. Campers will have a place to voice their creative visions and ideas in an encouraging, safe, and inspirational camp environment.

Each Friday at 4:00pm there will be a performance for family and friends. This performance is designed to be friendly to a new performer as it is in a casual, low stakes, environment. Our goal is for campers to build confidence for the stage and have a positive performance experience! Campers create their performance piece together and this ownership over their work allows for the stage experience to be exciting and fun. Also, if a camper does not want to perform, they don’t have to- there are a lot of non-stage roles in the world of performing arts!

Near North will provide a morning snack. Campers bring their own lunch and 1 snack for the afternoon. We are 100% nut free. Please do not pack nuts in your child’s lunch and snack.

Campers are split into small groups of no more than 10 campers to ensure camp is a safe environment and to provide individualized attention to be able to go home at the end of the week with new skills and tools to create on their own.

Camp will be taught by teaching artists with degrees in their field who value creating and teaching equally—cherishing the opportunity to simultaneously practice their craft as teachers as well as professional performers and creators.
