Finding a camp a teenager will still sign up for takes some digging. This list keeps only the camps that take kids 13 and up, from day camps close to home to sailing, surf and sleepaway weeks further out on the coast and the lakes. Each camp sets its own age rule, so check its age range before you book.
A four-day musical course where kids build a full show and perform on a real stage. Every day mixes singing, dancing and acting. On the final day they rehearse with the theater's lights, sound and smoke machine, go through hair and makeup, then perform for family. There are no auditions: roles go by age. Kids practice the script and songs at home beforehand, so it suits kids happy to rehearse.
Four days to put on a musical in a real theater. Kids sing, dance and act every day, rehearse a script and songs they practiced at home, and on the last day perform a 30 to 40 minute show for families, with lights, costumes, hair and make-up. Roles go by age, not audition, so first-timers get a part. Suits kids who like a stage, or want to try one.
