Children's & Tween Summer Camps 

About Our Program:

Morning Session- 9:00-12:00
With a focus on theatre, performance, and storytelling, students will work together to devise a short play to be performed at the end of the week. Students create their own characters, lines, and story with the guidance of our talented instructors. They will also play fun drama games that will activate their imagination, gain confidence, and prepare them for their Friday presentation.

Afternoon Session- 1:00-4:00
Offering a more diversified palette, students in the afternoon session will experiment with the visual arts, music, and dance inspired by the week’s theme. Students will split their afternoon, an hour and a half with visual arts and an hour and a half with music/movement. 

Full Day Session-9:00-4:00
Students joining us for the full day will benefit from a fully integrated arts approach to the week’s theme. Students will act, dance, sing, and create throughout the week while letting their creativity soar!

What Parents Are Saying 
About Our Program:

“The Winni Playhouse allows a child's imagination to take center stage. Creativity is fostered by caring counselors who encourage children to turn their ideas into acts and words into lines. From arrival in the morning, to taking a bow at the final day's performance, our daughter loved her Winni Playhouse experience.”


“Our son enjoyed being with other students that had the same interests such as theater. He is anticipating taking future classes with the Playhouse. We just wish we had found it earlier.”


“What a wonderful week [our daughter] had at Winni Playhouse! Thank you for providing such a phenomenal experience! The play was absolutely adorable and we are so proud of our "magical book." Every day [our daughter] was elated in sharing her camp adventures. Please share our thanks with your staff. We are so appreciative.”


“My daughter loved it. She wants to return next year. As a parent, I am hoping it will help channel her natural dramatic personality.”
