During the summer, CP Theatre puts on week-long musical theater day camps for students ages 5-18. Camps are designed to be a fun and energetic immersion into the world of musical theater. Camps are jam-packed with games, activities, and interactive workshops that build performance skills, self-confidence, and teamwork. Typical camps include team competitions; rotations through drama, dance, and music workshops; and a concluding showcase for family and friends. Through praise, worship, prayer, and daily devotions, CP Theatre teen camps are particularly focused on spiritual growth.
CP Theatre Summer Camps are all about fun, friendships, and theatrics. Camps are a great yearly tradition for your child!

An adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein's first collaboration: In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of Ado Annie and Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination, and the promise of a new land.
All campers will have a part in this classic production. Auditions for parts will be held on the first day of camp.
