This summer….
Come explore the world of singing, dancing and acting!!
Everyone will get their chance to shine.
In just 1 weeks we will put on a Broadway style musical!
This SUMMER CAMP is an intensive musical theatre program where a group of approximately 45+ students, (divided into cohorts) ranging in age from 6 – 15 years old, put on a Broadway style musical with high caliber sets, props, costumes, a professional choreographer and director and a live band in just 1 WEEK!
Professional pianist provided at rehearsals! Each day will be filled with DAILY DRESS UP THEMES; singing/dancing/acting and even some self care elements too! While fostering the love of musical theatre, we also encourage peace, balance and mindfulness for all, adding in our special Yoga Practice too! We will enjoy the beautiful outdoors, while also rehearsing and producing our show inside. We will enjoy exploring drama games, summer fun activities and many exciting fun filled team building exercises.
Each child gets their chance to shine, all campers get speaking solos, many have singing solos, all enjoy huge dance numbers, and beautiful costumes to wear on SHOW DAY!
“All of my neighbors have raved about how much their daughters really like HMT, even for the kids who are a little shy about trying it!” (2022 Summer Camp Parent)

CAN CAMPERS SIGN UP FOR CAMP TWICE?
Answer: Yes!
Per the request of many parents & campers: Campers are welcome to sign up for more than one camp per summer! Maximum 2 camps per summer.
Please note that we perform the SAME MUSICAL all summer long so signing up for multiple camps is a bonus for perfecting your theatrical characters and becoming a leader! Campers are cast in different roles each camp session they attend to give a new learning experience and more chances to explore their acting and singing talents!
Many campers have enjoyed repeating camp.
Each camp brings different opportunities!
Camp is PACKED FULL of FUN: We play drama games, summer themed activities, create props and paint set pieces for our show, write a personal bio for the program, sing and dance on stage, and produce a New York caliber Broadway style PERFORMANCE in just 1 week!
“My child LOVED every minute of Hope Musical Theatre and her eyes were opened to the world of performing arts!”
