St. Clair County Community College (SC4) is pleased to announce the addition of a new theater summer camp opportunity for learners in grades 1-9 July 17-21, 2023, at SC4’s Fine Arts Theatre. Learners in grades 1-3 will attend the camp from 9 to noon, with learners in grades 4-9 attending from 1 to 3:30 p.m.
The camp aims to help participants build confidence on stage, explore creativity, and act in a fun and stress-free environment. It is offered in addition to the variety of SC4 athletics and STEM-based camps already announced for this summer.
“We’re thrilled to announce the addition of this camp for all the aspiring actors and thespians out there,” said James McCulloch, SC4 adjunct instructor and area drama director with more than 80 productions under his belt. “This is a wonderful, low-stress opportunity for students to dive into the world of theater and enhance their acting skills. We can’t wait to see them shine on stage!”
Theater camp participants will work together throughout the week to learn a collection of short scenes, which they will perform at the end of the camp on July 21. Each session performs its own show, with the morning session performing at 11 a.m. and the afternoon session performing at 2:30 p.m. Performances are free and open to the public.
The camp registration fee is $125 per student. To register, visit sc4.edu/camps.
