This summer, Saltwater Performing Arts is offering a variety of fun and educational camps designed for every age and skill level! Our Scenes for Tweens camp is perfect for young performers looking to dive into acting and scene work, while our Broadway Boot Camps for middle and high school students provide intensive training in singing, dancing, and acting to prepare for the upcoming season. For our youngest stars, Broadway Kids offers a fantastic introduction to the world of musical theatre, where they'll learn and perform iconic songs from beloved Broadway shows. And for all ages, The World of Oz camp takes kids on a magical journey to the land of Oz, bringing this classic story to life in a fun and creative way. With both half-day and full-day options available, these camps are designed to foster creativity, build confidence, and give every camper a chance to shine on stage!
