YMCA Theatre Camp

Registered campers will be divided into two groups, with 7-10 year olds in one group and 11-15 year olds in another. Each group will spend 3 hours with the acting instructor and 3 hours with YMCA staff working on related activities. There will be a performance with the full class on the final day of camp.

OCTC will be providing the acting instructor and we could not be more pleased to introduce you to him.
