Enjoy theater camp on a real stage!

The CENTER for Performing Arts at Rhinebeck offers summer theater programs for ages 5 to 17 with 1-3 week workshops that explore all facets of the theatrical experience. All camps take place in our air conditioned theatre and our lovely grounds in Rhinebeck, NY. While building a community of friendship and respect, our campers learn skills that help them in theatre but that also have real world applications.

Our youngest campers enjoy a range of one-week camps with Friday shows free to family and friends.

This summer we are offering a 2-week production camp of Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka KIDS* for ages 7-10.

More intensive 3-week summer camps for actors ages 11-17 include public productions of Frozen, Jr.* and Matilda the Musical, Jr.*

Specialized afternoon camps include Voice for Theatre, Dance for Theatre, Scene Study and Backstage Camp.

This summer we are excited to expand our offerings with Song and Dance Camp as well as our Lunch Club, a way to keep the fun going after Magic of Disney camps.

Any experience level is welcome in any of our camps!

Please note that session age ranges are firm.

We require a copy of each participant’s immunization forms to attend our camps. At this time we do not require a Covid-19 vaccination to attend our camps. However, we do encourage participants to be vaccinated and anyone vaccinated is welcome to submit that information. Our staff is fully vaccinated.

We closely follow CDC recommendations, and our protocols may change. If you are not willing to follow our protocols, please do not register for our camps!

We thank you in advance for your continued support and flexibility. Our goal is to provide a safe experience for all involved in our camps. And to have fun. :)

If you are interested in summer dance classes, please check under Dance Studio in the next few months.

*All presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.MTIShows.com
