We value all members of our team in a supportive environment in which everyone is treated with appreciation and respect and positioned to do their best work every day.
SUMMARY:
This summer, the Arts and Culture department within JCamps will be offering two theatre arts camps. The first camp of the summer is Habimah Arts Camp, a multi-disciplinary summer camp giving children, grades from 1st-6th, exposure and skill-building in both visual and performing arts. Each camp day consists of several classes within these fields from Baltimore’s finest artists and instructors. The program also incorporates swimming, outdoor time, and field trips. On the final Friday of each 2-week session, campers show off their new skills and what they have learned in their very own showcase, featured on the Gordon stage.
The last three weeks of the summer offers the additional performance-based summer camp, Children’s Theatre Production Camp (CTPC), grades 3rd-8th. Each camp day will include musical theatre preparatory classes, auditions, rehearsal, and the final product of a full stage musical on the Gordon stage. Selected counselors will be working with the director to help run rehearsals, review material with campers, work the backstage for the production, and any other duties assigned to them in relation to the show. This year’s production is Little Mermaid Jr.
