Register now for an unforgettable summer at Camp Arena Stage!

Just ask any returning camper and they’ll tell you that a summer at Camp Arena Stage is truly unforgettable. Held on the beautiful gated campus of Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School, Camp Arena Stage provides every camper a chance to explore and create art on their terms. According to one CAS camper, “At Camp Arena Stage, you can be who you want to be and you’re inspired.”

The multi-arts format allows campers to both dabble in new art forms and plunge into more advanced arts training—and they choose their own schedules! Campers choose and attend five activities each day called Dailies. The long list of arts activities includes options like Rock Band, On Broadway, Hip Hop Dance, Improvisation and many more. All activities are taught by professional artists, educators and students in arts training programs.

Every day, after lunch, campers attend and take part in a Noontime Show, featuring the talents of campers, staff and guest artists.

Camp Arena Stage is held Monday through Friday from 9am to 4pm, is designed for young people ages 8-15 and is offered in two sessions. The 4-Week Intensive, held from June 30 to July 25, immerses campers in the artistic process, allowing time for in-depth projects and arts exploration. A field trip to see Arena Stage’s production of The Mystery of Irma Vep, theme days and the final Arts Extravaganza make this the ultimate camp experience. For those campers who prefer a shorter, introductory experience, the 2-Week Session, from July 28 to August 8, is the perfect way to get top-notch artistic instruction without the time commitment.

In 2007, 96% of parents asked were extremely likely to recommend Camp Arena Stage to another parent. “It is just the most supportive, positive and joyful environment,” said one parent, “It’s our third year.”
