Summer Camps 2027
Registration is now open!
What's so NEW about Brave Little Company’s in-role summer camps? It's what YOU bring to the story!
Brave Little Company is a unique theatre company – and our camps are unique too! For these “in-role” camps, all of the teaching artists are acting in character throughout the week, while also balancing the ability to teach and keep kids safe. It’s like stepping into a play happening all around you!
In 2027, we are offering:
One-day camps called BLC Short Cuts
At all of BLC’s camps, you’ll find:
Small classes, divided by age (the student to teacher ratio is about 6 to 1)
No more than 25 students total in any camp session
Theatre based games that build develop a variety of skills from individual creativity to teamwork
Immersion in imagination, creativity, and storytelling
A combination of brainy, artsy, hands-on and movement activities
STEAM and Literacy tie-ins that happen naturally when kids are engaged in a project
A screen free environment
A welcoming place for all kids.
No experience is necessary! We want all kids to be their extraordinary selves and bring their most exciting, collaborative ideas to our camps.
