Let YOUR young star SHINE on stage this summer! Performing Arts Academy (PAA) offers dozens of summer camps and classes perfect for kids who love to move, dance, and sing!


DID YOU KNOW? Exposure to performing arts is incredibly beneficial to young students’ academic and personal development:

  • Fosters independence through age-appropriate responsibilities
  • Emphasizes teamwork and the importance of each individual’s part
  • Encourages kids to fail forward and work through challenges in a supportive environment
  • Nurtures authentic self-confidence

Musical theater show camps allow campers to embark on the exciting journey of putting on a fully-staged musical!

Performing arts mini-camps cover a wide variety of performing arts topics to learn new skills or improve their acting, dance, and voice skills!

PAA has a vast selection of one-week, two-week, half-day, and full-day camps for Pre-K, elementary, middle, and high school age groups. Below is just a sampling of the fun your child can have this summer!

Fairytale Ballet (PreK-K)

Fairy wings, wizard wands, crowns, magic — this camp has it all! Campers will learn some fun ballet basics through the world of storytelling!

The grand finale is a “shareformance” on Friday at 11:40 AM for friends and family!
