Studio & Stage (grades 3-8)

SUMMER ARTS ACADEMY

Studio & Stage is for campers in grades 3-8 who share an interest in developing their artistic abilities. In an environment of professional art and theater instructors, young Studio & Stage campers acquire basic skills in visual and performing arts. Exposure to the visual arts range from the palette to the potters wheel… from the fine arts to the crafts. On stage our campers act, write, direct, and design scenery, costumes, and make-up. Studio & Stage is imagination in action!
A summer in Studio & Stage also includes dance, aerobics, gymnastics and sports. Recreational and instructional swim are part of every camper’s day. Art shows and stage productions are special summer highlights.

PERFORMING ARTS

Do you dream of dazzling an audience with an on-stage performance? Would you love to spend your days singing, dancing, and acting? Would you love to do all of those things while gaining confidence, independence, and having amazing fun with a group of friends? The Studio & Stage program may be the perfect fit for you!

Studio and Stage campers flourish, surrounded by friends who love theatre. From beginners who are exploring their own talents, to those more advanced, everyone at Laurel Hill thrives in an atmosphere of positive energy.

Our theatre-obsessed staff promotes a non-competitive philosophy, ensuring that every actor feels valued, respected and considered for every role. Our program produces dazzling shows, giving every camper an opportunity to shine under the guidance of a creative, supportive and professional staff.

We create a community of actors who support each other, and celebrate each other’s successes. The results are professional productions and joyful smiles from every actor and every parent.

FINE ARTS

The mission of the fine arts program at Laurel Hill is to inspire young artists to believe in their potential. We motivate and challenge campers while teaching the fundamental skills and concepts used in creating various forms of studio art.

Workshops emphasize creativity as an integral ingredient, regardless of individual campers’ level of experience and ability. Campers learn the importance of art as a means of personal expression, and are encouraged to feel pride in the uniqueness of their perspectives.

Studio and Stage campers are encouraged to unleash their imaginations and to explore all styles and forms of fine art. Our dedicated art specialists maintain an open environment that encourages creativity and recognizes the importance of the individual.
