New, affordable, half-day camp for little stars!
Drama Camp is a new YMCA camp designed to educate campers about theater. Through a production of Beauty and the Beast, campers will learn basic acting techniques and theater terminology. The campers will learn how to work together in groups, think critically, use their imagination, discover new ideas, and solve problems. This two week camp wraps up with a performance that lets everyone have a chance to feel like a star!​
The entire two-week experience is only $140 for YMCA Members and $180 for the public! Register soon.

Drama Performance
A performance of Beauty and the Beast will be held on the final day of camp, Friday, July 28th. All campers will have roles!
