Camp Arena Stage will take place in Summer 2021! At this time we are unsure whether it will be in-person or online. While our dearest hope is to be together and in person, we know after the success of Virtual Camp Arena Stage that we can create our joyful, artistic community at a distance if necessary.
We will post updates here, including dates, format and registration, as we determine them. Any plans will align with city regulations and guidance from the CDC.
Community and art make the magic of Camp Arena Stage.
At camp we see, recognize and appreciate each individual for who they are and the art only they can make. We value being present, joyful, creative and kind.
We know art has a product, but it is also a process full of mistakes and discoveries. We support one another and make a place that is safe to take risks and grow.
“By far the most beautiful piece of art to come out of camp this year, in my opinion, was the masterpiece of a community we built together, painted with people of all shapes, sizes and personalities, all brought together in one place by one simple thing: a love of art.”
Logistics
4-Week Intensive: The classic Camp Arena Stage immerses campers in the artistic process, allowing time for in-depth projects and arts exploration. Camp concludes with the annual Arts Extravaganza.
2-Week Session: A great introduction to Camp Arena Stage or a way to fit CAS into a packed summer, in this abridged session campers benefit from top-notch artistic instruction without the time commitment of the 4-Week Intensive.
Campers are welcome to register for both sessions.

Schedule
Every day campers attend their set schedule of activities/classes. These activities are chosen before camp begins from more than 75 options in theater, dance, music, visual art, filmmaking and writing. Campers take the same five activities each day for the full camp session.
Campers can choose activities within the same discipline or a variety of disciplines. It’s up to them!
