Welcome to the Shubert Summer Theater & Arts Camp

Still trying to figure out how to spend your summer? Our new camp video below will give you the answer!

Shubert Summer Theater & Arts Camp

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 runs July 8th thru August 2nd, 2013, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and 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 bring their own lunch or opt for a district provided bagged lunch.  Campers will receive a morning snack.  Tuition also includes field trips on the first three Fridays of camp.  The last day of camp will include a showcase performance at 5pm.  Students will have the opportunity to share their art work and performance skills with family and friends in an event hosted at the historic Shubert Theater.

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

After Care Program

The After Care Program is designed for families who cannot pick up students until after work.  Campers will stay 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. every day, receive snack, and choose between three activities including individual art time, gym time, theater games, crafts, and other directed activities.  You may select the After Care Program option in the camp application for either the Theater & Arts Camp or the Musical Theater Camp.
