Summer Arts Camp: Hollywood Has A Camp For Every Type of Art-Loving Kid

For those beginning their lifelong love of the arts, they offer their newest camp: Artistic Adventurers which will introduce Campers ages 5 and 6 to the Wide World Of Art through play in Music, Movement, Artmaking and so much more. The 7–10 year olds then have their pick to focus on Visual and/or Performing Arts in the returning Young Artists + Young Actors camp. Starting at age 9, Campers can take center stage in the 4-week long Broadway Actors camp devoted to staging a full-length production of a musical in our 500-seat theater!

Offered in both half and full-day sessions, this two-week Camp connects 5 and 6-year-olds to the World Of Art through something we know they relate to: play! Campers will spend their Camp Days immersed in Project-Based Art Experiences such as Papier-Mâché and in Drama and Movement Games while learning how to better communicate and work together. Campers will be able to gain experience in both the Visual and Performing Arts while exploring what interests them most. At the end of each two-week session, Campers will perform in a “Sharing Showcase,” in the Arts School backyard, where they will get to present and share something they’ve created for friends and family.

Families may choose half or full-day, two-week sessions. Campers staying all day must bring a non-perishable bag lunch, refillable water bottle and two snacks. Choose the morning and/or afternoon session when registering from the program.

Enrollment Fees for each two-week session are $325 for Members and $350 for Non-Member Campers attending a half-day, or $425 for Members and $450 for Non-Member Campers attending the full-day.

Young Artists and Young Actors

The Camp for 7 through 10-year-olds allows Campers to narrow their focus by choosing either Visual or Performing Arts in the half-day sessions or to continue to grow their connection to both at the full-day camp.

Broadway Actors:

The Broadway Full-Day Camp lets Campers experience first-hand the process of staging a full-scale “Broadway Junior” Production while forming friendships and building teamwork skills along the way. Campers will go through the entire process from audition to curtain bow while gaining technique and experience. This exciting journey culminates in two evening “Junior Broadway” Productions at the 500-seat Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center. (Each Camper receives two free tickets for family and friends.) The cost for this Camp is $800 Members/$850 Non-Members, per session.

Due to the ensemble format of this program and the heightened expectations of the final performances, participants must meet minimum attendance requirements and commit to dress and tech rehearsals, as well as the final performance.

The Art and Culture Center Arts Education Programs for children and teens inspire creativity; strengthen the family bond and grow awareness of the arts as an essential resource in a child’s social development and academic success. Research shows that children who participate regularly in the arts improve their attention span, learn more quickly, develop higher level critical thinking skills and that play can help resiliency. They also have loads and loads of fun!
