BE THE HERO OF YOUR OWN STORY
This summer, we celebrate the hero that resides in each of us. From popular movies like Wicked and KPop Demon Hunters to books like Harry Potter and Max The Brave, campers will explore stories where good is pitted against evil and how the strength and power we need to succeed in battle can sometimes come from places we least suspect. Join us for an action-packed and thrilling summer!

Will all the campers be together for the full day?
As you will see on the sample itinerary, there will be times during each camp day when the large group will be divided into smaller groups. Groups will be shuffled throughout the week so that all the campers get to work with each other! This also gives us the opportunity to give each camper more of our staff's guided and focused attention.
What about food?
Campers should plan to bring two nut-free snacks and a nut-free lunch to camp each day.
Will there be a performance?
There will not be a live performance. Throughout the week, our staff will videorecord campers practicing, performing (and maybe even some bloopers) that we will put together in a video package for campers and their families. This video will be sent the following week to all participants.
Where is the camp located?
Camp will take place at Sandbox Studios, 300 Waverly Avenue, 2nd Floor, in Mamaroneck.
My child is a little nervous about drop off situations. May I stay with them until they are comfortable?
The short answer is ‘no’. In our extensive experience as arts educators as well as camp and theatre directors, we find that children adjust (and much more quickly without their parents around to lean on). Parents must say their goodbyes at the entrance to allow the child to get acclimated with the rest of the campers and staff. We’ve got it from there, we promise.
What are the camp hours?
9:00am-3:00pm. Our staff will be waiting at the door at 8:50am and again at 3:00pm. We will also offer an extra hour of after care from 3:00pm-4:00pm for an additional charge
Can my child attend for only part of the week?
Partial week attendance is not available. We do not pro-rate tuition for absences, as there are limited spots for this camp and we turn away applicants after we reach a maximum.
How many staff members will be present?
We will have three staff members to run and manage this camp who will be present for the full camp day.
What if my child has allergies?
You will be given the chance to note any allergies at registration. If your child may need an epipen, you may indicate that and send along with them.
What should my camper wear?
Clothes that are comfortable to dance and move in! Sneakers are a must! No sandals or crocs!
What should my camper bring?
- TWO nut free SNACKS (one for the morning and one for the afternoon)
- ONE nut free LUNCH
- plenty of WATER
- a SMALL bag with PENS and PENCILS, a NOTEBOOK, and a FOLDER
Please avoid bringing any more items than what is listed above. We want to keep a clutter-free environment!
