St. Bart’s Musical Theatre Summer Camp is a performing arts day camp for children and teens ages 6–17. The camp is built as a two-week musical theatre intensive, giving campers time to learn, rehearse, collaborate, and prepare a final performance for families.
The 2026 camp theme is The Lion King. Campers explore the world of musical theatre through singing, choreography, scene study, dialect work, stage combat, hair and make-up, props, sets, audio, and other backstage and performance elements. That makes the camp broader than a simple singing workshop. Kids get a look at how a musical comes together from several angles.
The atmosphere appears creative, energetic, and performance-centered. The camp was introduced in 2025 and returned after a successful first year with Matilda. For 2026, the program gives campers a new production focus and a fresh set of songs, scenes, movement, and theatre skills.
This camp will likely interest kids who like music, acting, dance, storytelling, costumes, and stage energy. Younger campers can enjoy the playful side of performing, while older campers may appreciate the chance to work on more specific skills such as scene work, choreography, dialect, and technical theatre.

St. Bart’s Musical Theatre Summer Camp is a day camp. Campers attend the morning program and return home after the session ends. The camp does not include overnight lodging, cabins, dorm rooms, or residential supervision.
The published camp schedule runs from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This makes it a compact morning theatre program rather than a full-day camp. The format may work well for children who want focused rehearsal time without a long day away from home.
Because the camp is a two-week intensive, families should plan for consistent daily attendance across the full camp period. Musical theatre depends on rehearsal, group timing, song learning, blocking, and performance preparation. Missing multiple sessions could make it harder for a child to follow the group’s progress.
The program takes place in a church-based performing arts setting, with camp instructors guiding children through musical theatre activities and final performance preparation.
St. Bart’s Musical Theatre Summer Camp already has a developing tradition: choosing a musical, building a two-week rehearsal experience around it, and ending with a performance for parents. The 2025 camp featured Matilda, and the 2026 camp is built around The Lion King.
The camp’s structure gives children a real theatre rhythm. They rehearse scenes, songs, movement, and theatre skills across multiple days, then share selections from the musical on the last day of camp. That final performance gives the program a clear goal and gives campers a reason to practice, listen, collaborate, and keep building confidence.
Another important tradition is the broad view of theatre. Campers do not only sing songs. They explore scene study, choreography, dialect work, stage combat, props, sets, hair and make-up, and audio. That helps children see musical theatre as a team effort, where performers and backstage contributors all matter.
St. Bart’s Musical Theatre Summer Camp introduces campers to the many moving parts of a musical production. The 2026 camp focuses on The Lion King, with children preparing selections to perform for parents on the final day. Campers work on performance skills such as singing, choreography, scene study, and dialect, while also exploring theatre elements like props, sets, hair, make-up, audio, and stage combat. The program is designed to be active, collaborative, and fun, with a clear performance goal at the end.
