The Shubert Summer Theater & Arts Camp is a summer program for middle-school students who want to explore interests, potential, and opportunities in the arts. The camp offers students a chance to take in-depth classes in dance, music, theater, visual arts, and creative writing while in an arts rich environment. The camp is open to both New Haven and non-New Haven residents. Located at adjacent Cooperative Arts & Humanities High School, The Shubert Summer Theater & Arts Camp is situated in the heart of downtown New Haven, surrounded by theaters, galleries, and museums.  In addition to an arts atmosphere, the camp is staffed by a combination of professional artists, teaching artists, and emerging student-teacher-artists from Cooperative Arts & Humanities High School.

Campers may either sign up for the Theater & Arts Camp which allows them to register and choose from many different arts offerings or sign up for the Musical Theater Camp, which offers a curriculum of singing, dancing, and acting rehearsal, theater tech experience, and theater-related activities. At the end of each session, the Theater & Arts Camp will perform and display their art in a Camp Showcase Event and the Musical Theater Camp will produce and perform and Musical Theater Review. Both performances are open to all campers, their families, and friends!

Campers may bring their own lunch or opt for a district-provided lunch; a morning snack is provided. Each class will take at least one field trip to local arts-based organizations and institutions. 

The camp is made possible through the generous support of the David A. Beckerman Foundation.
