A Day at Camp: During the day the campers enjoy singing classes, jazz classes, musical theater choreography classes, acting classes and the experience of putting it all together into a production number.

What makes us unique - Each summer Triple Threat Theater Camp selects a musical and creates a tribute that includes 8 musical numbers from the musical and acting scenes as well. We write the scripts, based on the musical, and ensure that each camper has the same size role. There are no nail biting auditions.

Triple Threat Focus - In addition to working with their age group, campers will also select a category, either singing, dancing or acting and work with one of the directors more intensely, to take their skills and experience to another level. Performance - Campers perform for family and friends on the last day of camp.
