Program Highlights
Penn Charter Performing Arts Camp is excited to offer a performance-based camp for our older campers. Performing Arts Camp: Show Camp will be a four-week-long performance experience for campers ages 9-14. Please know that campers for this camp will need to commit to all four weeks of camp to be part of the final show.

This year the camp performance will be Seussical Jr.!

Join us for an unforgettable four-week theater camp where young performers aged 9–14 bring Seussical Jr. to life! Campers will embark on a journey filled with music, movement, and storytelling as they prepare for a dazzling performance on Friday, July 25, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. With expert guidance in music direction, choreography, and character development, campers will gain essential theater skills while building confidence and creativity.
