Asolo Repertory Theatre’s Education & Engagement team announces an
exciting lineup of creative camps for young artists ages 6 to 14 this summer. The weeklong sessions
run June 12 through Aug. 4, and each week of camp brings a new and exciting theme, so campers
can choose to attend more than one session. Campers can also attend partial weeks, choosing their

have the opportunity to blossom and hone their theatrical skills in a creative, playful and welcoming
environment. No experience necessary – theatre is for everyone!
