Rehearsals leading to a final live performance
Outdoor park time and indoor games
A supportive, inclusive environment where everyone can thrive
Whether you or your child is new to the arts or has previous experience, they’ll leave with stronger skills, new friends, and unforgettable memories.
How Ovation! Summer Camps Stand Out
We’re not your average camp. Ovation! offers one-of-a-kind programs that focus on your child’s interests and help them grow both on and off the stage. From musicals to film to comedy, our programs give people real-world experience in performing arts.
What makes us different? Our team. Every program is led by industry professionals – directors, choreographers, actors, and creators who bring passion and experience to every session. Expert training, mentorship, and a supportive space to explore creativity.
SMALL CLASSES = BIG DIFFERENCE! Our programs only accept between 8 to 16 participants and are specifically geared to provide more direct learning and experience to each performer.
