Summer Stock Theater Camp

My 6 and 9 year old loved this camp. They were nervous to perform at first, but the counselors helped them bloom!

Kid Stock is special. All of the kids treasure their time there; when the session is over they're all making plans for next year. It's really amazing to watch their love for this program.

This was our first year with Kid Stock and I put both my sons aged 8 and 6 (their first theatre/performing arts experience outside of school). My older artsy kid loved it and wants to do it again next year. My younger, sporty son, was a little slow to warm but he still enjoyed it and learned all the songs and lines. I think if the younger had a buddy with him going in, his opinion would be diff as this is his first summer in camps.

What I liked: Established non profit so the teachers (dance, voice, etc) are graduated campers who have been with the oldest aged group kids. If your child loves this and continues from Elementary into Middle School, every summer they have a theatre community to re-join which I think is wonderful and valuable.

Kid Stock also offers financial aid which helped us be able to afford this 3 week camp. And yes, it's 3 weeks so eliminates some of the planning when it comes to summer camp. Regular camp ends at 3p so there is still time to do martial arts or piano lessons etc for those who have that schedule. Before and after care also avail.

I'm grateful for organizations like this as they provide a safe environment for kids to explore, create and execute self expression! Kid Stock also operates during the school year and tries to est programs at schools that lack performing arts. Kudos to them!
