About the Camp
Join us for an exciting two-week Peter Pan musical theater camp! This summer camp offers an engaging opportunity for young performers to explore the world of Neverland. Campers will learn singing, dancing, and acting skills as they work together to bring the beloved story of Peter Pan to life. The camp will conclude with a final performance, where campers will showcase their talents in front of family and friends. It's a magical adventure you won't want to miss!`
