About Our Camps

Our Drama Camps give participants a chance to experience theatre first hand through our tried and true method of creative drama activities and participatory games. Throughout the weeklong camp, The Junior Calithumpians are active - acting, singing and dancing - with our dedicated group of camp counselors who guide the participants through their drama camp experience, and members of the Calithumpians troupe who come in to do specialized workshops on singing, dance, improvisation, and outdoor games. Campers also get to enjoy a peek behind-the-scenes of the Calithumpians’ Live Lunchtime Theatre and are treated to a front row seat to the performances by the professional troupe. Each week culminates in a short play written and performed by the counsellors and the camp participants.

Beginning in 2011, Calithumpians recognized the need for a program that would give local underprivileged children a chance to attend our summer drama camps on a waived fee basis. Because of a demand in the community, and because of the value our camps have in fostering creativity and confidence in youth, The Calithumpians Scholarship program was started in partnership with local businesses, and over the years more than 500 underprivileged kids have had the chance to become Junior Calithumpians. If you are a local business operator or private benefactor and you would be willing to sponsor a child or children, or if you are a teacher, parent, or guardian of a child or children who otherwise would not be able to participate in our program, please take a look at our Scholarship Page and contact us!
