Bumming out that choir is over for the summer? Have no fear- S.C.A.T camp is here!
S.C.A.T Camps offers an exciting opportunity for young singers, dancers, actors and artists (aged 8-18) to come together and create a semi-staged production after two fun-filled weeks of training in musicianship, dance, choreography, set production and musical theatre.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!
At the end of these 2 weeks, S.C.A.T participants stage a show centred on a theme that includes songs from the jazz, classical, folk, and Broadway genres, among others. "Campers" will also participate in set painting and the creation of props and costumes.
Participants will be given the opportunity to audition for vocal, dance or acting solo parts to be performed as part of the final show, following a potluck dinner for family and friends.
The camp will take place 9AM-3PM, Monday-Friday from July 16th - July 27th at First United Church in White Rock.
