Discovering Theatre Camp Phoenix For Children

By Toni Vang


When it comes to an interest in different aspects of performing arts, the earlier one gets training the better. As such, theatre camp Phoenix and others offer programs for children age 4-18. Whether looking to attend one oriented toward dance, film, music or stage, students can get a head start learning about the performing arts. The cost of these type camps, whether traditional or specialized, can depend on a number of factors.

When desiring to send a child to camp and living outside the Phoenix area, it is often good to do an online search to locate similar opportunities closer to home. While some children excel in the performing arts, others are more focused on subjects like science and history. As such, it is often best to discuss which type of camp a child might be interested in before finalizing any plans or completing the application and registration process.

As different children have different interests, it is important to locate a program in which little ones will not get bored. Although, when it comes to performing arts oriented programs, there are generally a number of different areas in which those in attendance can focus. These areas often include coursework in writing and directing, acting for stage and film, musical scoring to stage set up and design.

Most often these camps focus on acting for stage though some also provide coursework related to acting for film. For, while one used to have to live in or near Hollywood, California, a variety of acting opportunities can now often be found in many different areas. In fact, information on auditions can now often be found under the talent section of craigslist dot com, local newspapers, performing arts magazines and through other online websites associated with the industry

One program which is aimed at assisting children from dysfunctional homes is that of the Herberger program near Phoenix, AZ which offers the ability for some troubled youth to attend a two week Summer camp free of charge. While more traditional camps often run six weeks, these two week camp often works best for children with emotional issues who have a problem with the longer attention span required for these longer camps.

Programs like Herberger and others offer an ongoing spirit of collaboration with other non-profits in the area. As such, there are many different opportunities available for attendees, instructors and volunteers. Whether attending, instructing or volunteering, there are places and positions for a number of people in these organizations and programs.

When it comes to learning the more technical aspects, it is often older youth whom tend to work in the areas of writing, directing and stage design. While volunteers work with younger children to provide the dedication and self-confidence necessary to perform for stage or film. Although, while many may go on to find parts in film, most often these camps focus on producing stage productions which can often be completed in a much shorter span of time.

Whether attending a traditional camp, or, a more specialized program, all have a great deal to offer in the way of learning. While there may be some opportunities for students to acquire grants and scholarships, children from broken homes, low-income, homeless shelters and those undergoing psychological treatment are often first in line to receive funding. Before registering a child for any type of camp, it is often recommended that parents or guardians read a variety of reviews, then visit the location of choice when and where possible.
