Calling all future rockstars, actors, storytellers, and big imaginations!

Turn two half-day camps into one full day of creativity at AcA this summer.

Start the day with "Play, Pretend, Perform!" where campers dive into theater games, acting, movement, and imagination-fueled fun. Then grab those drumsticks for "Drum Jam" and spend the afternoon making noise, finding the beat, and jamming together.

It’s loud. It’s creative. It’s playful. It’s basically the ultimate summer camp combo!

One camp to spark the imagination. One camp to bring the rhythm.

Let the all-day fun begin!
